Description
This dataset contains distributional records of marine annelid species collected along the coasts of the Salento Peninsula between 2005 and 2023. The material analysed was gathered from 65 sampling stations located at depths ranging from 0 to 969 m. These stations encompassed a variety of habitat types, including mesophotic biogenic hard substrates, coralligenous outcrops, intertidal coralline algae, soft bottoms, and soft sediments associated with seagrass meadows. In total, 344 taxa belonging to 48 families were identified in the examined material. The dataset also includes a record dated 1984, which refers to the re-examination of historical samples.
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 140 records.
1 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.

Project Data
Scientists have long envisioned more human-like robots able to sense and respond to their environments. Although the term soft robotics emerged fewer than two decades ago, these systems are already finding applications in diverse fields including medicine, space and locomotion. Inspired by marine Annelida (segmented worms) that adapt to their environment with shape changes, the EU-funded MAPWORMS project will develop a new concept for adaptable, responsive and shape-morphing soft robotics. A study of adaptation and plasticity in the body plan of marine Annelida will inform a model for the development of smart soft materials with shape-morphing and self-healing capabilities, based on DNA components. These will form the building blocks of bio-inspired shape-morphing robots.

| Study Area Description | Salento Peninsula |
| Design Description | The dataset underwent comprehensive quality control using the LifeWatch and EMODnet Biology data quality control tool. Date fields were manually cross-validated by data stewards. Taxonomic entries were validated using the WoRMS Taxon Match tool, and geographic coordinates were checked against the Marine Regions Gazetteer. |
Sampling Methods
The equipment used is: Ekman grab; hand corers; gillnets and trawling. The sampling depth varied from 0 to 969 m; corresponding to various habitat types.
| Study Extent | The examined material was obtained from 65 sampling stations along the coasts of the Salento Peninsula between July 2005 and February 2023. |
