Description
Within the framework of the OPKK project "Development of the System for Monitoring the Status of Species and Habitat Types" - GROUP 14: "Creation and Development of Monitoring Programs for leeches," new data on the abundance and distribution of leech species of interest to the EU were gathered. These data were collected using methods described in the newly proposed monitoring programs, aiming to test their adequacy for long-term monitoring of species conservation status. This dataset includes observations of Hirudo species during 2022 and 2023.
Data Records
The data in this occurrence resource has been published as a Darwin Core Archive (DwC-A), which is a standardized format for sharing biodiversity data as a set of one or more data tables. The core data table contains 256 records.
This IPT archives the data and thus serves as the data repository. The data and resource metadata are available for download in the downloads section. The versions table lists other versions of the resource that have been made publicly available and allows tracking changes made to the resource over time.
