Macroinvertebrate data from sand, silt, gravel habitats in five English rivers

Data provided are macroinvertebrate taxa collected from five lowland English streams in during summer collated and harmonized from multiple previously published studies. Data were collected using either a 15-second kick sample (900 µm pond net) or via a cylinder sampler (comparable to a hess sampler) on the spot in three discrete substrate habitats (gravel, sand, silt). Data resolved to family level and are published in Ecology and Evolution: DOI 10.1002/ece3.70034. More information can be found in the paper.
