Dataset: General trends after forty years of predictive models applied to benthic macroinvertebrates from the marine, estuarine and freshwater environment

In order to synthesize the main predictive models applied to benthic macroinvertebrates, we conducted a systematic literature review. The reporting of this systematic literature review was guided by the standards of the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis (PRISMA) Statement. PRISMA is a guideline that helps researchers to report more clearly the methodology applied in systematic reviews (i.e., information source, eligibility criteria, selection of included studies, data extraction and analysis) in order to make it more transparent and reliable (Moher et al., 2009; Sarkis-Onofre et al., 2021). The main steps in the classification of studies for this systematic review are depicted in Figure 1. Studies were identified in the Web of Science database in December 2020 applying the limit date from 1945 to 2020, using the following search terms: ((model* OR simula*) AND (benth* OR macrozoobenth* OR macrobenth OR macroinvertebrates OR invertebrates) NOT (Benth OR Bentham OR Bentheim OR Bentheimer OR BENTHEM OR BENTHIOCARB OR benthamii OR benthamiana)). The terms included after the ‘NOT’ boolean operator were used to avoid records not related to the benthic fauna.

为综合应用于底栖大型无脊椎动物的主要预测模型，本研究进行了系统文献综述。本次系统文献综述的编制遵循了《系统评价与荟萃分析优先报告项目》（PRISMA）标准。PRISMA是一套指导方针，旨在协助研究人员在系统评价中更加清晰地报告所采用的方法（即信息来源、纳入标准、纳入研究的选择、数据提取与分析），以增强其透明度和可靠性（Moher et al., 2009; Sarkis-Onofre et al., 2021）。本次系统评价研究中，研究文献的分类主要步骤如图1所示。研究文献于2020年12月通过Web of Science数据库检索获得，检索时间范围设定为1945年至2020年，使用以下检索词：((model* OR simula*) AND (benth* OR macrozoobenth* OR macrobenth OR macroinvertebrates OR invertebrates) NOT (Benth OR Bentham OR Bentheim OR Bentheimer OR BENTHEM OR BENTHIOCARB OR benthamii OR benthamiana))。检索词中的“NOT”布尔运算符之后包含的术语，旨在排除与底栖生物群无关的记录。
