Description
The dataset presents macroinvertebrate community data from 10 Latvian ponds within Silene Nature Park. The ponds were created as a habitat restoration measure on the Silene study sites of the EMYS-R project. Macrophyte data are also available for these ponds on https://www.gbif.org/dataset/18a8550a-3906-4cdd-b979-29b659147a84.
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 896 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.

Project Data
Emys-R is a 3-year participatory transdisciplinary action-oriented research project based on seminal theories in humanities, social and natural sciences. It consolidates an existing international network of researchers and stakeholders from France, Germany, Latvia, Poland and Ukraine to share complementary knowledge and expertise on past, present and future wetlands, biodiversity and management. It aims at defining the most effective, socially-supported, ecological methods of wetland restoration in favour of the reintroduction of the European pond turtle Emys orbicularis, and for its associated biodiversity throughout Europe, based on all resources available from past and present programs of wetlands restoration and Emys reintroduction throughout Europe and long term monitoring on three study sites in France, Germany and Latvia.

| Funding | Emys-R (https://emysr.cnrs.fr) is funded through the 2020-2021 Biodiversa+ and Water JPI joint call for research projects, under the BiodivRestore ERA-NET Cofund (GA N°101003777), with the EU and the funding organizations Agence Nationale de la Recherche (ANR, France, grant ANR-21-BIRE-0005), Bundesministerium für Bildung und Forschung (BMBF, Germany, grant 16LW015), the State Education Development Agency (VIAA, Latvia, grant ES RTD/2022/2), and the National Science Center (NSC, Poland, grant 2021/03/Y/NZ8/00101). |
| Study Area Description | Emys-R operates on three study sites where EU-funded programs of wetland restoration and Emys reintroduction took place: France (Woerr, Lauterbourg), Germany (Neuburg am Rhein) and Latvia (Lake Sitas region, Silene). These sites show contrasting biophysical and socio-ecological contexts, providing ideal case studies to assess the common and specific processes involved in the ecological and sociological success of such conservation actions. |

Sampling Methods
For each pond, one sample per mesohabitat was taken by sweep netting or scooping using a 0.05 mm hand net following the S3i method (Labat et al., 2022). The data is expressed in number of individuals per sample. The pond from which a sample was taken and the mesohabitat type from the S3i method are in the column “occurrenceRemarks”. The surface area covered by the sample is in column “locationRemarks”. Furthermore, the proportion of the pond surface covered by the same mesohabitat type as the sample is also in the column “locationRemarks”. Macroinvertebrate sampling performed with the S3i method described in Labat et al., (2022).
| Study Extent | The dataset represents a summarized result of surveys of the studied territory conducted in 2022 - the Silene site in Silene Nature Park (Latvia). The records of different groups of macroinvertebrates (identified to different taxonomic levels) are shown. |
