Benthic macroinvertebrate biodiversity and abundance data from glacier rivers in the Cordillera Blanca, Peru, 2019-2020
This dataset includes taxonomic and abundance data at the of benthic macroinvertebrates in ten rivers within the glacial valleys of Parón, Huaytapallana and Llanganuco in the Cordillera Blanca, Ancash, Peru. This data was created to analyse the response of aquatic biodiversity to glacial retreat, studying rivers in a gradient of glacial coverage. The sampling work was carried out from October 14 to 30, 2019 and from October 7 to 16, 2020. The study was funded by NERC, Newton‐Paulet Fund and Fondo Nacional de Desarrollo Científico, Tecnológico y de Innovación Tecnológica-Perú Full details about this dataset can be found at https://doi.org/10.5285/db604b78-c616-471b-9028-2d0826a6f50c

-
At each sampling site, a 15-meter section was defined and 6 samples randomly taken in riffles, pools and bankside habitats using 250μm mesh net (0.09 m2). The collected substrate was placed in airtight bags preserved with 96% ethyl alcohol in the field. The identification was carried out using the taxonomic manuals by Domínguez & Fernández (2009) and Prat et al. (2011). More detail is available in the supporting documentation accompanying the data.
