Description

The dataset contains occasional records of Vertebrates (Reptiles, birds and large and medium-sized mammals collected in the lower valley of the River Tua, and included in the Ecological Monitoring Program (2011-17) of the Environmental Impact Assessment of the Foz Tua Hydroelectric Dam, promoted by EDP – Energias de Portugal, S.A. Data were collected between October 2010 and July 2017 in a non-systematic way, on the area of the lower Tua valley directly or indirectly affected by the Foz Tua dam. The dataset includes both "ad hoc observations" and observations of non-target species made in regular censuses of specific faunistic groups. The presence of individuals was recorded both by direct observations in the case of birds and reptiles and by indirect evidences (scats, camera-trapping) in the case of mammals.

Purpose

This dataset is part of a broader initiative whereby the company EDP - Energias de Portugal S.A. will make available biodiversity data collected during impact assessment and biological monitoring studies.

Sampling Description

Study Extent

The data were collected within a 5-km buffer around the lower Tua River valley (Northeast Portugal) up to 50 km from the mouth, in the municipalities of Carrazeda de Ansiães, Alijó, Vila Flor, Murça and Mirandela, plus some additional observations in S. João da Pesqueira and Tabuaço municipalities.

Sampling

No standardized sampling was used. All observations made outside the sampled points/transects used for and/or during surveys of other vertebrates were recorded and collected here. The identification and species assessment methods were those used for the regular surveys of the target groups: direct observations (birds, reptiles) or indirect indirect signs of presence, as scats, or observations of live individuals in camera-traps (mammals)

Quality Control

All identifications were performed by qualified technicians.

Geographic Coverages

The data were mostly collected within a 5-km buffer around the valley of the River Tua (Northeast Portugal), up to 50 km from the mouth, in the municipalities of Carrazeda de Ansiães, Alijó, Vila Flor, Murça and Mirandela. The dataset includes some samples collected outside this general area in waterlines of the Tua (municipality of Sabrosa) and Douro (municipalities of Tabuaço and S. João da Pesqueira) sub-basins.
