臺灣東部及南部地區的澤蟹屬(Genus Geothelphusa)物種分布、溪流環境參數及指標資料集

A dataset of distribution of Geothelphusa (Decapoda: Potamidae) with their environmental parameters and stream indicators in eastern and southern Taiwan

此資料集為2013 - 2015年於臺灣42處樣點，合計146次淡水蟹澤蟹屬物種與溪流環境的調查結果，共發現12種1,006隻澤蟹。澤蟹的調查項目包括存在與否、背甲寬、背甲長、濕重及性別，溪流環境的調查項目包括水溫、pH值、溶氧量、導電度與三項溪流環境指標（河川汙染指數RPI、水質指數WQI7及定性棲地評估指數cQHEI)。

This paper describes the dataset on the freshwater crab genus Geothelphusa (Decapoda: Potamidae), their environmental parameters, and stream indicators in eastern and southern Taiwan. This dataset is the result of 146 surveys (sampling events) of freshwater crab species and stream environment from 2013 to 2015 at 42 sampling sites throughout Taiwan, and a total of 12 species and 1,006 individuals of Geothelphusa were recorded. The data include presence, carapace width, carapace length, wet weight, and sex. The stream environmental data include water temperature, pH value, dissolved oxygen, conductivity, and three indicators (River Pollution Index, RPI; Water Quality Index 7, WQI7; citizen Qualitative Habitat Evaluation Index, cQHEI).
