Project details

Project title: Aquatic Hyphomycetes from insular streams (Madeira, Portugal)
Personnel: Pedro  Raposeiro
Funding: This work was funded by FCT– Foundation for Science and Technology (IF/00129/2014 and DL57/2016/ ICETA/EEC2018/25).
Study area descriptions/descriptor: Madeira is a typical oceanic island with unique biodiversity under increasing pressure. Madeira island is located 600 km off the Atlantic coast of North Africa, has an area of 742 km2 and a maximum altitude of 1861 m (Pico Ruivo). Madeira island comprises approximately 126 catchments and 200 streams ranging from 1st to 6th order.

Methods

Method step description: The data has been published as a Darwin Core Archive (DwC-A), which is a standardised format for sharing biodiversity data as a set of one or more data tables. The core data table contains 22 records (taxonID). One extension data table also exists with 300 occurrences.
Study extent description: Aquatic hyphomycetes spores were sampled from 40 stream sites distributed by 27 permanent streams on Madeira islands.
Sampling description: Aquatic hyphomycetes spores were sampled by filtering 5 litres of stream water (47 mm diameter, 8 µm pore size; Whatman GF/C, GE Healthcare Europe GmbH, Little Chalfont, U.K.). The filters were stained with cotton blue in 60% lactic acid (0.05%) and mounted on a slide.
