Issue Date: | 2023 | Publisher: | NATURE PORTFOLIO | Source: | Scientific Data, 10 (1) (Art N° 169) | Abstract: | In light of the ongoing freshwater biodiversity crisis, detailed knowledge regarding the spatial distribution of freshwater species is urgently required, especially in biodiversity hotspots. Here we present a database of georeferenced occurrence records of four freshwater invertebrate taxa groups across Cuba, namely flatworms (Platyhelminthes: Tricladida), insects (Ephemeroptera, Odonata, Hemiptera, Trichoptera, Coleoptera, Diptera), crabs and shrimps (Crustacea: Decapoda), and mollusks (Mollusca). We collated the geographic occurrence information from scientific literature, unpublished field records, museum collections and online databases. The database, comprising 6292 records of 457 species at 1075 unique localities, is organized in 32 fields that contain the information about the taxonomic classification of each recorded species, the sex and life stage of collected individuals; the geographic coordinates, location, author and date of the record and a reference to the original data source. This database provides an important basis towards an improved understanding of the spatial distribution of freshwater biodiversity in Cuba. | Notes: | Torres-Cambas, Y (corresponding author), Leibniz Inst Freshwater Ecol & Inland Fisheries, Dept Community & Ecosyst Ecol, Muggelseedamm 310, D-12489 Berlin, Germany.; Torres-Cambas, Y (corresponding author), Tech Univ Carolo Wilhelmina Braunschweig, Inst Geoecol, D-38106 Braunschweig, Germany. yusdiel.torres-cambas@igb-berlin.de |
