The dataset contains abundance and body size data of the benthic macroinvertebrates communities of 12 coastal lagoons located in five different countries (Italy, Albania, Greece, Bulgaria and Romania). Data refer to 262 taxa and 53637 individuals.

This dataset provide a broad perspective and information on taxonomic and morphological (shape and size) structure of phytoplankton communities in Scottish lagoon ecosystem.

This dataset provides a broad perspective and information on taxonomic and morphological (shape and size) structure of phytoplankton communities along a spatial gradient in Lesina lagoon.

This dataset provide a broad perspective and information on taxonomic and morphological (shape and size) structure of phytoplankton communities in Greek lagoon ecosystem.

Short name: MasterARMS.csv. The ARMS-MBON (Marine Biodiversity Observation network for genetic monitoring of hard-bottom communities) European project is a Genomics Observatory and a collaboration of ~25 European institutes who deploy individual settlement units in the vicinity of marine stations and Long-term Ecological Research sites in European coastal waters and Antarctica. After a few months they are brought up, and visual, photographic, and genetic assessments are made of the lifeforms that settled on them. These data will be used to assess the status of, and changes in, the hard-bottom communities of these near-coast environments. This project began collecting full scientific data in 2019. This dataset linked to this record contains the ARMS data of 2018. Note that this dataset is not yet complete and will undergo several updates. In the "MasterARMS" file you can find the data collected during the sampling, links to images of the ARMS plates, the run accession codes of the sequences in ENA, and access status (open or closed). The documentation you can download are the various SOPs. The "MasterARMS" file and documentation are open access, but some of the images and sequences are subject to a moratorium period.

The site comprises three distincts experimental set-ups: (1) a long-term (>10 years) partial throughfall exclusion experiment replicated three times and crossed with a thinning (-30% basal area) experiment aimed at simulating long-term precipitation decrease in accordance with climate change scenario for the Mediterranean area (-30% of precipitation), (2) a total rainfall exclusion experiment using a mobile roof has been set up to simulate extreme drought events and modify precipitation seasonality, and (3) an eddy-covariance flux tower running continuously since 2001 to measure seasonal variations in ecosystem functioning and year-to-year flux responses to drought and climate.

The World Register of Introduced Marine Species (WRiMS) records which marine species in the World Register of Marine species (WoRMS) have been introduced deliberately or accidentally by human activities to geographic areas outside their native range. As a user or developer you can use the WoRMS webservice to feed your own application with standard WoRMS data, including WRiMS data. A non-exhaustive list of applications: - get the AphiaID for your taxon - check the spelling of your taxa - get the authority for your taxa - get the full classification for your taxa - resolve your unaccepted names to accepted ones - get all synonyms for a taxon - fuzzy/near match your species list - resolve a common name/vernacular to a scientific name - get the common name(s)/vernacular(s) for a taxon - get the sources/references for a taxon - get the WoRMS citation for a taxon - get the direct children for a taxon - get all taxa modified during a time interval - get an external identifier for a taxon - get the AphiaID for an external identifier/database - get all distributions for a taxon - get all attributes for a taxon
