Invertebrate pictures. Data supporting the thesis, "Characterising freshwater macroinvertebrate diversity in the Okavango Delta (Botswana) using taxonomic and molecular techniques"
Supplementary material of the PhD thesis entitled: "Characterising freshwater macroinvertebrate diversity in the Okavango Delta (Botswana) using taxonomic and molecular techniques". This complements Chapter 5 of the thesis.
Contains 1,722 high quality pictures (863 Mb uncompressed) in 30 folders (one per taxonomic group) used to identified all morphospecies of aquatic macroinvertebrates found in the Okavango Delta (Botswana). The folder includes pictures of all life stages and also of other non-macroinvertebrate organisms, such as zooplankton, Platyhelminthes, parasites, terrestrial and semiterrestrial taxa.
Pictures were taking after sorting of specimens, using an iPhone 11 pro at 100-1000x magnification. There are several pictures of each morphospecies showing key features for its identification. Each individual picture has been cropped and edited using the iPhone picture edition software.
