725 Global EPTO Database

Title

Global EPTO Database

Description

Comprehensive table including all the occurrence records of the Global EPTO Database. 

 

Main type of variables contained: WGS84 geo-referenced records of EPTO genera globally. Each record is attributed to the corresponding drainage basin and sub-catchment based on the high-resolution Hydrography90m dataset and is accompanied by the elevation value of its location based on the MERIT Hydro Digital Elevation Model. 

 

Spatial location and grain: The database covers the global spatial extent, with 86% of the observation records having coordinates with at least four decimal digits in the WGS84 coordinate reference system. 

 

Time period and grain: Sampling years span from 1951 to 2021. 99% of the records have information on the year of the observation, 95% on the year and month, while 94% have a complete date, including the day of observation. In particular cases, exact dates can be retrieved upon communication with the individual data contributors. 

 

Major taxa and level of measurement: Ephemeroptera, Plecoptera, Trichoptera and Odonata at the genus taxonomic level. 

 

50 datasets are included in the file 'Global_EPTO_Database.csv' (zipped). The link to each individual dataset is available in the 'Table_S1.pdf' and in the column ‘FRED_link-DOI’ within the dataset.

For individual dataset visualisation, a link to https://geo.igb-berlin.de/ can be found in the field ‘GeoNode references’ in the FRED entry of each dataset.
