This dataset contains occurrence records of infralittoral molluscs from several locations in the Mediterranean basin. These data come from available data, published papers in scientific journals as well as free available PhD thesis, dating back to 1969.
-
This dataset contains records of polychaetes from intertidal rocky shores in the Mediterranean Sea.
-
Data were part of a research project that wanted - amongst others - to quantify the spatial and temporal variation of the benthic rocky reef assemblages in the Marine Protected Area (MPA) of Capraia Island (Tuscan Archipelago) and a bordering non-protected area.
-
Samples of macro- and megafauna were collected in the North Aegean Sea, between 1997 and 1998. This dataset then served as a basis to describe the diversity, spatial and temporal variability and trophic relationships of different taxonomic groups inhabiting hard substrates.
-
The general goal of this study was to test if assemblages of algae and invertebrates of rocky shores next to marinas are different in taxon composition and abundance compared to reference shores far away from this source of disturbance.
-
The purpose of this study was to follow the gradient of the benthic algal vegetation from the head to the mouth of the Borgafjördur. Attention was paid to the zonation patterns, algal associations and the species distribution. These data were also compared to the vegetation of other Icelandic fjords.
-
The aim of this study was to describe the species distribution, main algal associations and zonation patterns along the coast of Mjóifjürdur from the head of the fjord and outwards.
-
This study dealt with the biomass of algal settlements at different locations along the Istrian coast in the Northern Adriatic Sea. The eulittoral and upper sublittoral zone of rocky sites was investigated during three subsequent years: 1967, 1968 and 1969.
-
The aim of this study was to describe the gradient of the benthic algal vegetation along the coast of Berufjördur, with focus on the influence of salinity and substrate configuration on the zonation patterns and the leading algal associations. Additionally, attention was paid to the differences between the main algal zones on sheltered versus exposed sites of rocky formations.
-
Data were collected as part of wider coastal management programmes, sponsored by the Norwegian Polar Research Institute. The main purpose of this data collection was to present an ecological inventory of the Svalbard Archipelago and to map the areas of great biological importance.
