Sampling event dataset https://doi.org/10.15468/volo76 accessed via GBIF.org on 2024-12-11.Description
The dataset contains records of the Otter (Lutra lutra) collected in the lower valley 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 September 2010 to November 2013. Sampling was performed with camera-traps distributed along the lower Sabor river valley (and some tributaries) and along the rivers Maçãs and Angueira, from the river mouth up to 42 km upstream. The presence and identity of the target species were assessed with the visualization of photos taken through camera-trapping.Purpose
This dataset is part of a broader initiative whereby the company EDP - Energias de Portugal S.A. will made available biodiversity data collected during impact assessment and biological monitoring studies.
Sampling Description
Study Extent
The data were collected in 49 5x5 km squares in the lower Sabor river valley, some of its tributaries, and along the rivers Maçãs and Angueira, from the river mouth up to 42 km upstream, in the municipalities of Torre de Moncorvo, Alfândega da Fé, Mogadouro and Macedo de Cavaleiros.Sampling
Sampling was designed to cover the whole valley of the lower Sabor river, some of its tributaries, and the rivers Maçãs and Angueira. A maximum of 15 (in 2010) or 20 (in 2011-13) automatic cameras was deployed in the study area (one or two per 5x5 km square). In 2010 (an experimental period), the cameras were deployed for a maximum period of 15 days. Starting in 2011, a maximum exposure period of three months was adopted, with the cameras being inspected at the end of each month. From 2012 onward, an increasing number of cameras were lost, due to theft, damage or destruction, forcing their substitution. The dataset presents the total number of photos taken for the target species for each exposure period, by the combined set of cameras in each square.Quality Control
