EDP Baixo Sabor: Birds - Construction and Reservoir Filling Phases - Vilariça Stream (MC1) [2013-2014]

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 112 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.

The taxonomic coverage of this dataset spans 1 class, 16 orders, 39 families, 65 genera and 79 species.

Temporal Coverage

Project Data

The dataset contains records of terrestrial, aquatic and riparian birds (Aves) collected in the lower valley of River Sabor (NE Portugal), in the scope of the monitoring programs of the Baixo Sabor Hydroelectric Dams (AHBS), promoted by EDP – Energias de Portugal, S.A.. Specifically, the dataset relates to monitoring carried out to evaluate the effectiveness of measures implemented to mitigate the impacts of AHBS. In this case, the mitigation measures refer to "MC1 - Compensatory Habitat of Vilariça Stream". This dataset includes results of surveys made along the final 5 km stretch of the Vilariça stream, from January 2013 to September 2014. Sampling was performed in a total of 8 point counts, in areas of suitable habitat. The occurrence of the target taxa was documented through 3484 observation events. In total, 79 taxa were identified up to the species rank. The most common/abundant species (>180 individuals/observations) were Delichon urbicum (495), Passer domesticus (350), Sturnus unicolor (337), S. vulgaris (317), Turdus merula and Fringilla coelebs (185).

Sampling Methods

Sampling was designed to cover the main habitats for both terrestrial and aquatic/riparian birds near the Vilariça stream. A total of 8 points was marked along the final 5 km of the stream, down no its mouth. At each count point, a 10-minute session was performed, in which all birds detected by sight or sound were recorded. The same points were used for terrestrial and aquatic/riparian species, but the records were assigned separately (PV-- and PRAV--, respectively). The identification was made "in loco" by experienced observers, with support of appropriate field guides.
