Cladocera distribution updates 2014

Dataset homepage

Citation

Cladocera Interest Group (2018). Cladocera distribution updates 2014. Occurrence dataset https://doi.org/10.15468/czf3li accessed via GBIF.org on 2021-03-03.

Description

Recorded locations of Cladocera species from the revised British list 2012.

Purpose

To increase knowledge of the national distribution of all species.

Sampling Description

Quality Control

Data have only been updated and maintained since 2012 and are in no way comprehensive in geographic or taxonomic coverage. Data have been checked against recent taxonomic splits and name changes. The dataset has been checked for erroneous grid references and corrected but since little is known of the range of cladocera species this it not been possible to check for records outside their normal range.

Method steps

  1. Data collected from published records, collected using plankton nets and sediment core analysis by members of the CIG.

Taxonomic Coverages

Geographic Coverages

Coverage is from across Great Britain but is biased towards areas where CIG members live or travel to. The majority of records have six figure grid-references, more recent records are 10 figure. Literature records vary in precision.
