Data Records

The data in this sampling event resource has been published as a Darwin Core Archive (DwC-A), which is a standardized format for sharing biodiversity data as a set of one or more data tables. The core data table contains 17 records.

2 extension data tables also exist. An extension record supplies extra information about a core record. The number of records in each extension data table is illustrated below.

This IPT archives the data and thus serves as the data repository. The data and resource metadata are available for download in the downloads section. The versions table lists other versions of the resource that have been made publicly available and allows tracking changes made to the resource over time.

Geographic Coverage

Mediterranean Sea, Aegean Sea. Sampling Marine Stations are from both Greece and Turkey.

Taxonomic Coverage

Mollusca and Radiata by Forbes. It is worth mentioning that the taxonomic evaluation was difficult and thus time-consuming. HCMR team asked taxonomic specialists for specific species in order to match the species with a WoRMS ID and in particular for two species: Pleurobranchus calyptraeoides and Pleurobranchus sordidus new entries in Molluscabase (https://www.molluscabase.org/) were created.

Temporal Coverage

Sampling Methods

The digitised information is a list of examples of Dredging Papers, selected in order to show the associations of species in the several examined regions. The numerous dredging operations on which the original Report is founded were all registered in a similar manner.

Method step description:

1. Information on species, abundance, stations, and dates were extracted from the dredging papers.
