Descripción

The present dataset refers to all the records of meiofauna collected from the English Lake District (UK) and identified during the First freshwater meiofauna workshop from 27th August to 11th September 2025, organised by the National History Museum of London. The data were structured based on the Darwin Core standard (Wieczorek et al., 2012). The dataset includes 299 occurrence records of 209 distinct taxa of meiofauna belonging to 46 families, 24 orders and 8 major taxonomic groups. More, two new species (Tardigrades) were found in the Lake District , a region of exceptional ecological and biogeographical interest. This dataset is integral part of the paper "Freshwater and limno-terrestrial meiofauna of the Lake District, UK" by Majdi et al., submitted to Biogeographia.

Datos del proyecto

The present dataset refers to all the records of meiofauna collected and identified during an identification workshop from 27th August to 11th September 2025, organised by the National History Museum of London.

Título A georeferenced dataset of meiofauna from the Lake District, UK
Descripción del área de estudio Lake District, UK
Descripción del diseño The general strategy was to collect samples from all the types of habitat where freshwater and limno-terrestrial meiofauna within the Lake District area (UK) and identified during the First freshwater meiofauna workshop(27.08-11.09), organised by the National History Museum of London in 2025. The dataset includes 299 occurrence records of 209 distinct taxa of meiofauna belonging to 46 families, 24 orders and 8 major taxonomic groups. More, two new species (Tardigrades) were found in the Lake District , a region of exceptional ecological and biogeographical interest.

Métodos de muestreo

Samples were collected in the field using various methods. In total 60 different samples were collected from 27 different sites, representatives of a wide range of ecosystems, substrates, and micro-habitat types found in the Lake District area (UK). The applied methods for meiofauna extraction from the samples and identification under the microscope varied depending on taxonomic groups.

Área de Estudio The general strategy was to obtain samples from all the types of habitat where freshwater and limno-terrestrial meiofauna can be found, covering habitats within the Lake District area. All identified organisms during the survey, with data from variety and subspecies levels to species, genus, and family rank were included in the dataset.
Control de Calidad Taxonomic identifications were performed on living individuals, to species-level whenever possible, or to the nearest reliable rank by the expert taxonomists involved in the faunistic survey. Nomenclature validation and cleaning were based on WoRMs (Horton et al., 2017) and on the GBIF taxonomic backbone (GBIF Backbone Taxonomy, 2023).

Descripción de la metodología paso a paso:

  1. Substrates for freshwater habitats from where meiofauna was extracted included submerged mosses in running and standing waters, wet sediments, macrophytes, periphyton, biofilms and plankton. Of the taxa reported in the current dataset, 58 belonged to Arthropoda (28%), 33 were Rotifera (16%), 30 were heterotrophic unicellular eukaryotes (14%), 26 were Nematoda (12%), 20 were Annelida (10%), 19 were Tardigrada (9%), 12 were Gastrotricha (6%) and 11 were Platyhelmints (5%). Moss samples returned the highest number of taxa occurences (136), followed by periphyton (54), epipsammon (34), interstitial (25), plankton (17), peat bogs (16), forest litter (7), soil (6), epizooic on gammarids (2), lichen (2).
