Description

This dataset provides up-to-date data on the fauna of oligochaetes living in the 13 tributaries and water bodies of the Vychegda river (upper riverbed). The data includes 44 species and forms of oligochaetes

Data Records

The data in this sampling event 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 72 records.

1 extension data tables also exist. An extension record supplies extra information about a core record. The number of records in each extension data table is illustrated below.

Geographic Coverage

The research area includes 13 tributaries the upper reaches of the Vychegda river and stagnant water bodies. The upper course of the Vychegda River belongs to the Timan Middle Taiga Province and originates on the Pechora-Vychegodsky Plateau. The length of the upper section of the Vychegda River is 32.2%. The river's catchment area is located in the Southern Timan region and the adjacent plains.

Sampling Methods

The 13 small and middle rivers (tributaries of the Vychegda, upper stream) and some stagnant water bodies was studied. In the rivers the substrate is predominantly gravel and boulders. Numerous rapids are noted along the river. Sandy substrates are often found in the pools, and the pool bottoms are silted. In the lake and small water bodies bottom predominantly composed of sand, black silt and moss.

Study Extent The dataset provides information on the number of individuals of aquatic oligochaete in zoobenthos sample
Quality Control The data were collected and identified by specialists from the Institute of Biology of the Komi Scientific Center of the Ural Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences. Morphological analysis specimens were performed using compound microscopes BIMAM R13-1, Leica DM 4000B. For identification of species we used both standard keys and data reported in modern studies specifically addressing the taxonomy (Chekanovskaya 1962; Timm 2009; Key to identification of zooplankton and zoobenthos, 2010, Schmelz, Collado, 2010). 1.

Method step description:

  1. Oligochetae samples were taken with a Petersen grab (sampling area 0.025 m2) on soft bottoms and with a hydrobiological scraper (blade length 20 cm and mesh size of the attached with mesh size ≤158 μm, sampling area 0.04 m2) on gravel bottoms. Samples were preserved in 4% formaldehyde (in the field) and examined under light microscopes in the laboratory. Morphological analysis was performed using a stereomicroscope Leica DM 4000. The worm species affiliation was ascertained under existing taxonomic keys in accordance with the present-day classification of each group. Voucher specimens were deposited at the Institute of Biology, Syktyvkar (Oligochaeta).
