Description

ARMS-MBON is a network of more than 25 partners who deploy Autonomous Reef Monitoring Structures (ARMS) settlement units in the vicinity of marine stations and Long-term Ecological Research sites in European coastal waters and Ant/arctica. After a few months the units are brought up, and visual, photographic, and genetic assessments are made of the lifeforms that settled on them. The collected data are published (see the related datasets and GitHub links listed in this record) and the omics data analysed. 

In this record we include the outputs of our analysis of the ITS data from the 2020-2022 campaign. The analysis used the PEMA bioinformatics software, and the resulting taxonomics inventory has been turned into DwC format. In addition, all the PEMA inputs and outputs can be found on the ARMS-MBON GitHub site (see links in this record), and the subset of the sampling data to which these 18S results are linked can also be found on the ARMS-MBON GitHub site.
