Description: This dataset comprises the occurrences associated to the riverine invertebrates’ specimens collected from riffle mesohabitat of slightly altered rivers located in the Northwestern Italian Alps and specifically in the Piedmont Region (Piemonte). Each row in the dataset corresponds to a single vial related to a single sampling event (site and date) and to a specific sampling unit. The single vial contains one or more individuals of the same taxon. A catalogue number consisting of the collection code (PIEMNR) and a progressive six digit number is assigned to each row. The final digit is a letter if pictures of the preserved specimens were taken. This dataset is provided within the Activity WP6.6, "National Network of Aquatic Science Collections," of the ITINERIS project - Italian Integrated Environmental Research Infrastructures System - CUP B53C22002150006.

Description: This dataset comprises the occurrences associated to the riverine invertebrate specimens collected from pool mesohabitat of nearly pristine (Reference) reaches of rivers in Sardinia Island, the second biggest island of the Mediterranean Sea. Each row in the dataset corresponds to a single vial related to a specific sampling. The single vial contains one or more individuals of the same taxon. A catalogue number consisting of the collection code (SARDRP) and a progressive six digit number is assigned to each row. The final digit can be a letter if pictures of the preserved specimens are taken. This dataset is provided within the Activity WP6.6, "National Network of Aquatic Science Collections," of the ITINERIS project - Italian Integrated Environmental Research Infrastructures System - CUP B53C22002150006.
Geographic Coverage: Invertebrates were collected in sites with low to absent levels of anthropic disturbance located in the eastern part of Sardinia (south-western Italy).
Taxonomic Coverage: The dataset comprises the occurrences of 53 invertebrate families, Divided in four phyla, Four classes and 14 orders. The most represented taxonomic group is the Arthropoda phylum and particularly the Insecta class. For three insects orders namely Plecoptera, Odonata and Ephemeroptera, Occurrence data are available at the genus level (22 genera).

Description: The collection of Tardigrada by Giuseppe Ramazzotti, preserved at the Water Research Institute of the National Research Council (CNR-IRSA) in Verbania, Italy, is composed of numerous slides and microscopic preparations of tardigrades, including animals and their eggs. It is a historical collection that includes samples taken over a period of years from 1938 to 1964 in Europe, Africa, North and South America by one of the Italian taxonomists working on the phylum Tardigrada. The dataset of the Ramazzotti collection is composed of 3319 tardigrade records, prepared within the Project ITINERIS (Italian Integrated Environmental Research Infrastructures System) dedicated to build the Italian Hub of Research Infrastructures in the environmental scientific domain. The purpose of creating this dataset is to protect the information through the digitalization of the samples, and to facilitate sharing the information on the animals collected by Ramazzotti and stored at CNR-IRSA, Verbania. For this reason, each record in the database is associated with a photograph of a microscopic slide and of the specimens. The data have been organized into a standardized Darwin Core Archive format, so that they can be harmonized and be available globally, through the Global Biodiversity Information Facility infrastructure (GBIF).

Description: This dataset represents the collection of the Ephemeroptera slide held at CNR-IRSA in Brugherio, Italy. The list includes specimens primarily collected in Italy starting from 1989 using qualitative methods, including some Italian endemisms. The slide collection has the dual purpose of increasing knowledge about Italian Ephemeroptera species through morphological study and serving as a reference tool for cataloguing and quantifying Italy's Ephemeroptera biodiversity. Each row in the dataset corresponds to a slide containing dissected body parts (e.g., mouthparts, thorax, abdomen). Typically, each individual is mounted on a single slide (i.e., row); however, in some cases, the same individual is mounted on multiple slides due to its size. As part of the ITINERIS project and the National Biodiversity Future Centre (NBFC), Ephemeroptera samples have been curated, catalogued, and digitised to make natural history collections virtually available to the public at any level, simplifying access and sharing of information. Drawings, preserved specimens and photographs of living specimens can be added to the collection.
Geographic Coverage: Sampling was carried out in freshwater environments distributed throughout Italy and other European countries
Taxonomic Coverage: The dataset includes occurrences of the order Ephemeroptera as part of the class Insecta, Phylum Arthropoda
