Description
The data presented is the result of an extensive bibliographic review aiming to compile the medusozoan occurrences in the Iberian Peninsula and related archipelagos that were yet to be published in GBIF. Overall, we compiled 4,657 occurrences from 456 species belonging to four classes, 12 orders, 103 families, and 242 genera. For more details see Rodrigues et al. (2024).
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 1,630 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.

| Study Area Description | The study area encompasses the Iberian Peninsula and its Archipelagos in Macaronesia, which include the Exclusive Economic Zones (EEZs) of Portugal (including the EEZs of Azores and Madeira archipelagos) and Spain (including the EEZs of Canary Islands). |
| Design Description | Data was gathered from scientific literature, including articles, books, reports, and theses published between 1879 and 2023. Data retrieval from Google Scholar (last retrieved in October 2023) involved systematically using the nomenclature of each of the species found. Subsequently, the literature retrieved were examined to determine the presence of each species within the EEZs considered. Search results were not constrained by time or language, and only the first two pages results were considered, as subsequent pages did not provide relevant information |
