Species occurrence records for freshwater aquatic insect taxa namely the EPT (Ephemeroptera, Plecoptera, Trichoptera) as well as freshwater diatom taxa from the Indian Ocean Islands (Madagascar, Mauritius, Seychelles). The species records have been collated from existing historical museum records and collections as well as from published scientific literature sources. The data set is a work in progress and more data will be added to it over time. The focus initially will be on Madagascar, followed by the smaller islands in no particular order.
Detailed metadata can be found in the Freshwater Metadatabase (http://data.freshwaterbiodiversity.eu/metadb/bf_mdb_view.php?entryID=FAI_1).
