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.Sampling Description
Study Extent
Mediterranean basinSampling
Analysis of published papers in scientific journals and free available PhD thesis, dating back to 1969, the common equipment used was Scraping / Underwater sucker.Quality Control
Each paper's species list has been check for the update systematics by using the WORMS match taxon tool.Method steps
- For the assemble of the species list, a detailed search in SCOPUS and WEB OF SCIENCE literature databases as well as cross check within the publications has been followed. The species list per paper, have been indexed in an excel spreadsheet.
