Sampling event dataset https://doi.org/10.15468/q1s8nt accessed via GBIF.org on 2024-08-26.Description
The dataset contains records of Common Kingfisher (Alcedo atthis) and Dipper (Cinclus cinclus) (Aves) collected in the lower catchment of River Sabor (NE Portugal), in the scope of the long-term Ecological Monitoring Program (PME) of the Baixo Sabor Hydroelectric Dams (AHBS), promoted by EDP – Energias de Portugal, S.A. This dataset includes results of surveys made in and around the area affected by the dams, from August 2010 to September 2014. Sampling was performed in transects distributed along the lower Sabor river valley (and some tributaries) and in rivers Maçãs and Angueira, from the Sabor mouth up to 42 km upstream. The presence and identity of bird species were assessed by visual and/or acoustic observation, with binoculars. The records include taxa identified at the species level.Purpose
This dataset is part of a broader initiative whereby the company EDP - Energias de Portugal S.A. will make available biodiversity data collected during impact assessment and biological monitoring studies.Sampling Description
Study Extent
The data were collected in a single transect near the river in each 1x1 km square, along the valley of the lower Sabor river, some of its tributaries, and in rivers Maçãs and Angueira, fom the river mouth up to 42 km upstream, in the municipalities of Torre de Moncorvo, Alfândega da Fé, Mogadouro e Macedo de Cavaleiros.Sampling
Sampling was designed to cover the whole valley of the lower Sabor river, its tributaries and rivers Maçãs and Angueira, in habitats suitable for the Kingfisher and the Dipper (riparian galleries, stream pools). A total of 66 transects distributed in a grid of 1x1 km squares was set. Each transect of around 100 meters, was walked by one observer during 10 minutes. All birds detected by sight or sound, as well as nest sites observed or potential, were recorded. The identification was made "in loco" by experienced observers, with the support of appropriate field guides.Quality Control
All individual identifications were performed by qualified techniciansMethod steps
