Description

This dataset presents the distribution of freshwater macroinvertebrates in Madeira Island streams.

Sampling Description

Study Extent

Freshwater macroinvertebrates from 40 sites (MAD01 – MAD40) from 27 permanent streams in Madeira island.

Sampling

Benthic macroinvertebrates were collected following the national sampling protocol (INAG, 2008). Samples were fixed in 96 % ethanol and transported to the laboratory. In the laboratory, samples were rinsed through a sieve of 500 μm mesh size, and macroinvertebrates were sorted and preserved in 70 % ethanol.

Quality Control

Macroinvertebrates were identified and counted under a stereo microscope (Zeiss Stemi, Deutschland). Identification was made to the lowest possible taxonomic level using identification keys (e.g. Tachet, Bournand & Richoux, 2002; Oscoz, Galicia & Miranda, 2011).

Method steps

The data has been published as a Darwin Core Archive (DwC-A), which is a standardised format for sharing biodiversity data as a set of one or more data tables. The core data table contains 751 occurrences with 69 records.

Geographic Coverages

Madeira is a typical oceanic island with unique biodiversity under increasing pressure. Madeira island is located 600 km off the Atlantic coast of North Africa, has an area of 742 km2 and a maximum altitude of 1861 m (Pico Ruivo). Madeira island comprises approximately 126 catchments and 200 streams ranging from 1st to 6th order.
