Report on the Danish Oceanographical Expeditions 1908-1910 to the Mediterranean and adjacent seas - Introduction

This dataset comprises the location of sampling stations, sampling information (methods) and some environmental data recorded during the Danish expeditions to the Mediterranean and adjacent seas 1908-1910. The data were digitized from the report of Schmidt (1912). This table was created and used as reference for the biogeographic data, which were published in three multi-part volumes. Three of these volumes with biogeographic data have been digitized already and are available through this IPT installation (see links below). For other volumes, only metadata have been created and are available through this IPT.

Macrozoobenthos data of the Idro stream, Apulia, Italy.

The dataset contains abundance and body size data of the benthic macroinvertebrates community of Idro River (Apulia, Italy). Data refer to 38 taxa and 9086 individuals.

The dataset contains 6129 occurence data and other ecological information of the natural reserve of Castelporziano Estate (Rome, Italy). Data refers to native and alien species of different groups of organisms: monera, protista, fungi, plants and animals. Dataset includes bibliographic and unpublished data. Information related to the conservation status provided by the IUCN Red Lists, EC Habitat and Birds Directives are also available.
