Description
The Freshwater Animal Diversity Assessment (FADA) database contains authoritative species lists for several taxonomic groups and distribution data at the level of faunistic regions. This dataset contains the Glasby, C. " Timm, T., 2016 December 15, World checklist of freshwater Polychaeta species. World Wide Web electronic publication. Available online at http://fada.biodiversity.be/group/show/11. It has been updated based on Glasby, Christopher J., Timm, Tarmo, Muir, Alexander I., Gil, João (2009): Catalogue of non-marine Polychaeta (Annelida) of the World. Zootaxa 2070: 1-52, DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.187085.
Data Records
The data in this checklist 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 318 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.
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.
