Description
LiCSiC is composed of 13 micropaleontological slides collecting benthic foraminifera specimens from Linosa Island seafloor (depth ranging between 50 and 400 m). A total of 140 taxa were identified from the 13 sediment samples. This dataset is part of Activity WP6.6 “National network of the aquatic science collections” of the project funded by EU - Next Generation EU Mission 4 “Education and Research” - Component 2: “From research to business” - Investment 3.1: “Fund for the realisation of an integrated system of research and innovation infrastructures” - Project IR0000032 – ITINERIS - Italian Integrated Environmental Research Infrastructures System - CUP B53C22002150006.
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 505 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.

Sampling Methods
About 50 cm3 of sediments samples of the box corer and Van Veen grab were collected with a tube of 8 cm in diameter from the interval 0-1 cm of the seafloor for the foraminiferal analyses, and treated following the FOBIMO protocol (Schönfeld et al., 2012), to facilitate distinguishing living from dead foraminiferal tests (see Ferraro et al., 2020 for details).
| Study Extent | Sedimentological data were collected by the National Research Council, Institute of Marine Sciences (CNR-ISMAR) of Naples (Italy) during two oceanographic surveys, ‘Linosa 2016’ (17-19 August 2016) and ‘BioGeoLin 2017’ (8-20 September 2017), onboard the R/V Minerva UNO. |

Method step description:
- Benthic foraminiferal specimens were picked, from a sediment fraction >125µ of each sample, and collected in microslides. The image dataset of benthic foraminifera was acquired from living and dead foraminiferal specimens. Benthic foraminiferal tests were examined and photographed using an optical stereomicroscope (model Zeiss SteREO Discovery V.8). Optical images were acquired with a 16× Ocular, S1.0× Objective Plan, and processed via the microscope imaging software Zen Lite (v. 2012 SP1 black edition, 64 bit).
