EDP Foz Tua: Black Wheatear (Oenanthe leucura) (Aves) - Ecological Monitoring Program [2012-2017]

Description

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 154 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.

Geographic Coverage

The data were collected within a 5-km buffer around the valley of the River Tua (Northeast Portugal), up to 22 km from the mouth, in the municipalities of Alijó, Carrazeda de Ansiães and Murça, but mostly limited to the last 7 km of the valey.

Taxonomic Coverage

The taxonomic coverage of this dataset spans 1 phylum, 1 class, 1 order, 1 family, 1 genus and 1 species.

Temporal Coverage

Project Data

The dataset contains records of black Wheatera (Oenanthe leucura) (Aves, Muscicapidae) collected in plots along the lower Tua River valley and included in the Ecological Monitoring Program of the Foz Tua Hydroelectric Dam, promoted by EDP – Energias de Portugal, S.A. Data were collected in May 2012 and between January and September 2013-2017, during field visits to the known area of occurrence of the target species in the lower Tua valley, in a 5-km buffer around the river itself. The occurrence of the target taxa was documented through 635 observations of the species, in 155 events.

Sampling Methods

Sampling was designed to cover the main area of reproduction of the Black Wheatear along the lower Tua River valley affected by the Foz-Tua dam, particularly in the last 7 km of the river, where most couples have their territories. The area was intensively searched, and all known or potential territories were visited once (winter and summer/autumn) or twice (spring). Singing playbacks (five minutes each) were performed to enhance the response of the birds. Species identification and assessment of age and sex (when possible) were made “in loco”, with the help of appropriate field guides.
