Enchytraeid Species Records from Anglesey and Menai Strait Coasts, 1961-1964

1961 to 1964 species records of littoral enchytraeid worms (Oligochaeta) collected during a Ph.D. research programme. The data was collated from various coastal locations on Anglesey and the Menai Strait. The dataset is aggregated from the eu_open_data platform and is associated with the Government Digital Service.

Use Cases

• Analyze species distribution and diversity based on the coastal location records mentioned in the description.
• Study temporal changes in littoral invertebrate communities based on the 1961-1964 time range.
• Conduct taxonomic or biogeographic research on the Enchytraeidae family based on the species records.

Strengths

• Data covers a specific four-year time period from 1961 to 1964.
• Focuses on a specific taxonomic group (Enchytraeidae) and habitat (littoral zone).
• Geographic scope is clearly defined as the coasts of Anglesey and the Menai Strait.

Limitations

• Row count, file formats, and column-level documentation are unknown, which limits suitability assessment.
• Last update date is unknown; freshness unverified.
• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download.
