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. <br>

本次提供的数据集为夏季采集自英格兰5条低地溪流的大型无脊椎动物类群，相关数据经整理与统一化处理，源自多项已发表的前期研究。数据采集采用两种现场采样方式：一是15秒踢网采样法（使用孔径900 µm的池塘采集网），二是圆筒采样器（类似Hess采样器（Hess sampler）），采样覆盖砾石、沙质、粉砂质三种明确的底质生境。本数据集的分类分辨率达到科水平，相关成果发表于《Ecology and Evolution》期刊，DOI为10.1002/ece3.70034。更多详细信息可查阅该论文。
