Title | The title is used to provide a brief and precise description of the dataset such as 'Date', 'Originating organisation/programme', 'Location' and 'Type of survey'. All acronyms and abbreviations should be reproduced in full. | 2005 Isles of Scilly intertidal rockpool survey of ciliated protozoa |
File Identifier | The File Identifier is a code, preferably a GUID, that is globally unique and remains with the same metadata record even if the record is edited or transferred between portals or tools. | 46855ac311bbe321988de71ceff14173 |
Resource Identifier | This is the code assigned by the data owner. | SCILLYATBI00010 |
Resource type | The resource type will likely be a dataset but could also be a series (collection of datasets with a common specification) or a service. | dataset |
Start date | This describes the date the resource starts. This may only be the year if month and day are not known | 2005-01-01 |
End date | This describes the date the resource ends. This may only be the year if month and day are not known | 2005-12-31 |
Spatial resolution | This describes the spatial resolution of the dataset or the spatial limitations of the service. | inapplicable |
Frequency of updates | This describes the frequency with which the resource is modified or updated i.e. a monitoring programme that samples once per year has a frequency that is described as 'annually'. | asNeeded |

Lineage | Lineage includes the background information, history of the sources of data, data quality statements and methods. | Journal of Marine Ecology Progress Series for Inter-Research by G.F. Esteban and B.J. Finlay on ciliated protozoa in intertidal rockpools in the Isles of Scilly in 2005. ABSTRACT: Marine intertidal rock pools can be found almost worldwide but little is known about the microscopic life forms they support, or the significance of regular tidal inundation. With regard to ciliated Protozoa in rock pools, little progress has been achieved since 1948, when the question was first posed as to how a community of ciliates can remain relatively constant in a rock pool that is flushed twice a day. Here we show that local ciliate species richness is very high and that it may persist over time. This elevated species richness can be attributed to ciliate immigration with the incoming tide, and also to the resident ciliate community that withstands tidal flushing. A 15 cm deep intertidal rock-pool no bigger than 1 m2 on the island of St. Agnes (Scilly Islands, UK) contained at least 85 ciliate species, while a 20 cm-deep rock pool with roughly the same area on Bryher (also in the Scilly Islands) yielded 75 species. More than 20% of the global number of described marine interstitial ciliate species was recorded from these rock pools. We explore the paradox of a persisting community assembly living in an ecosystem that is physically highly dynamic. |
