Description
We report a total of 54 records concerning samples collected by Irma Pierpaoli in the last century. The samples are a part of the entire collection of macroalgae species included in the herbarium MBMP. The “Irma Pierpaoli herbarium” is owned by the Marine Biology Museum of Porto Cesareo (Lecce, Italy) related to the DiSTeBA department of Salento University and it was named after the botanist who collected the samples. It was registered in the Hindex Herbariorum site with the code MBMP in July 2024. At the CNR-IRSA in Taranto two herbaria are stored: the Herbarium of the Talassografico Institute “A. Cerruti” and the historical Herbarium “Irma Pierpaoli” dating back to the Twenties of the last century. Irma Pierpaoli, throughout her career as a school teacher, first in Taranto and then in Senigallia, devoted her free time to the study of seaweeds. During the years spent in Taranto, she was a guest of the Talassografico Institute, where she carried out her researches. We owe her the first studies on the benthic seaweeds of the Taranto seas. She left us the aforementioned rich herbarium containing about 600 specimens collected in the high Ionian Sea and in the middle Adriatic.

Project

The Collection of Rhodophyta of Taranto Seas

Content: The dataset is a part of the collection MBMP created by Irma Pierpaoli in the last century. During the years spent in Taranto as a teacher, she was a guest of the Talassografico Institute, where she carried out her researches. She collected along the coast of the Mar Grande and Mar piccolo of Taranto numerous samples belonging to the herbarium MBMP. The Rhodophyta dataset of the Taranto Seas, covered a period from 1921 to 1924 and with some samples collected between august and September 1942 and only one in 1947.

Funding: Digitalization of the collection is funded by the Project ITINERIS (Italian Integrated Environmental Research Infrastructures System). The Project has among its purposes that of creating datasets to share biodiversity data with the scientific community.
