Description
This dataset includes information on the benthic copepod assemblages of the littoral zone of Lake Maggiore (Northern-western Italy-Switzerland). Data were collected in the frame of the Interreg Italy-Switzerland 2014-2020 Parchi Verbano Ticino Project (ID: 481668), funded by the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF).<br> We compiled a dataset listing 234 occurrence records of benthic copepod species recorded in three littoral sampling stations situated in three protected areas, of which two are part of the Natura 2000 network in Italy and one is part of the Emerald Network in Switzerland. We collected the specimens during the summer-autumn period in 2019-2021. We identified copepods down to the species level. We created a dataset with individual georeferenced occurrence records for each of these species, organized in a standardized Darwin Core Archive format. <br> We made available a total of 13 distinct taxonomic entities and 234 unique georeferenced occurrence records related to the benthic copepod assemblage of the littoral zone of Lake Maggiore. This dataset is relevant in that it concerns the benthic copepods of the littoral zones of a large lake whose water levels are regulated for human uses. The dataset has the potential to assist the authorities in charge of managing Lake Maggiore’s water levels in addressing the ecological risk connected with water management and developing shared implementation strategies for human activities that are sustainable on the lake.

Données sur le projet
The Project is a part of the 2019-2023 INTERREG Italy-Switzerland Cooperation Program Parks Verbano Ticino Project, which aimed to address stakeholders’ demand for water from Lake Maggiore (Italy-Switzerland).
Following the Darwin Core standard, we created a dataset with the geo-referenced distribution sites of the benthic copepod species in three sand beaches of Lake Maggiore.
The dataset was compiled at CNR-IRSA with the collaboration of CNR-IRET. It includes occurrence records and abundance data of species of Copepoda Harpacticoida and Copepoda Cyclopoida of the littoral zone of Lake Maggiore that were collected from three sampling stations

| Description du domaine d'étude / de recherche | Lake Maggiore, Northern-western Italy. Data were georeferenced directly on site according to WGS 84 datum. |
| Description du design | The dataset comprises only occurrence records and number of individuals (n. ind./150 meiobentic metazoan ind.) of harpacticoid and cyclopoid species. |
Méthodes d'échantillonnage
Samples were collected in six summer months, between 2019 and 2021, during the periods of low water level (September 2019 and August 2020), medium (August 2019 and September 2020) and high water level (July 2020 and 2021). Therefore, the dataset is built up as six georeferenced sites (MA:W, MA:D, FT:W, FT:D, SC:W, SC:D), with three special replicates each. 234 records of the occurrence of 13 copepod species are included in the dataset. Copepod sampling was done using the techniques described in Cifoni et al. (2021). We disturbed, by foot, a 625 cm^2 submerged littoral area for 30 seconds. To gather the displaced copepod individuals, we trailed a hand net with a mesh of 60 µm over the disturbed area (Cifoni et al., 2022; Boggero et al., 2022). After being collected, the semi-quantitative samples were stored in bottles with a 70% ethanol solution (Suarez-Moralez, 2015) until they were sorted in the laboratory. We standardized the samples in the laboratory by sorting the sediments and selecting 150 meiobenthic individuals with a glass pipette under a stereomicroscope at 16× magnification according to Cifoni et al. (2022).
| Etendue de l'étude | The dataset was compiled at CNR-IRSA with the collaboration of CNR-IRET. It includes occurrence records and abundance data of species of Copepoda Harpacticoida and Copepoda Cyclopoida of the littoral zone of Lake Maggiore that were collected from three sampling stations: Bolle di Magadino (MA), which is situated in the homonymous Smeraldo protected area in Switzerland, Fondo Toce (FT) and Angera-Sesto Calende (SC), in two sites that are part of Natura 2000 network in Italy. We examined two types of littoral habitats at each station: one that is permanently wet (W) and the other that experiences drought (D) during low lake levels. In each habitat, we collected three spatial replicates along an oblique transect |

| Contrôle qualité | Validation for taxonomic consistency was performed using World Register of Marine Species (WoRMS Editorial Board, 2023). Taxon specialists: Diana Maria Paola Galassi Quality control for geographic information: Google Maps was used to verify the accuracy of the coordinates. The dataset's geographic coordinate format, locations that fall inside state or provincial borders, and anomalous ASCII characters were examined. |
Description des étapes de la méthode:
- The datasetincludes 22 columns with each row containing a record of a harpacticoid o cyclopoid species with taxonomy information in accordance with the Darwin Core Standard (Wieczorek et al., 2012). It is accessible via Internet Publishing Toolkit (IPT) of the GBIF node “Europe and Central Asia” (https://cloud.gbif.org/eca/). The 22 columns show the event ID number, the occurrence ID, the basis of record, the event date, the scientific name of the species, taxon rank. There are 9 columns that refer to kingdom, phylum, subphylum, class, orders, families, subfamilies, genera and species. Further columns show geographic coordinates, unit of measure and reference system, country code, locality, organism count referred to a standardized samples of 150 meiofaunal individuals (see Sampling design paragraph), and organism quantity type. A combination of SamplingSite: Habitat: ReplicateNumber makes up the "eventID". The "occurrenceID" is made up of Publisher Name: Habitat: ReplicateNumber: Species; SamplingSite.
