Resumo: Although species identification is a central component on Biological Sciences, misidentifications are quite common generating error cascade effects on other environmental studies, resulting on erroneous population estimates, status, trends, and distribution data. One of the main causes of these errors occurs when dealing with damaged material, immature specimens, sexual dimorphism, intraspecific variation, and species with poor or outdated descriptions. Furthermore, usually there is no material retained as voucher of the specimens studied in scientific collections, hindering confirmation the identified species, in morphoanatomical and genetic scope. Even with this reliance on species identification taxonomy has been in decline for many years. In this study, we present the case study of the crustaceans identified for the Minho River estuary (NW Iberian Peninsula), using a taxonomic approach comparing these results with the biological surveys obtained through various ecology studies performed for 4 decades. A total of 64 species of crustaceans were identified within this study, in which 44 were new records for the Minho River estuary, compared to the 25 species identified on the biological surveys analyzed. Being one of the first studies of this nature in the Minho River, the main objective will be to provide taxonomic support in future projects in this area, contributing to the knowledge of the fauna of Portugal and the Iberian Peninsula.

Uma das principais causas destes erros ocorre quando se lida com material danificado, espécimes imaturos, dimorfismo sexual, variação intra-específica, e espécies com descrições pobres ou desactualizadas. Além disso, normalmente não há material retido como comprovante dos espécimes estudados em colecções científicas, impedindo a confirmação das espécies identificadas, no âmbito morfo-anatómico e genético. Mesmo com esta dependência da taxonomia de identificação de espécies, a taxonomia tem estado em declínio há muitos anos. Neste estudo, apresentamos o estudo de caso dos crustáceos identificados para o estuário do rio Minho (NO Península Ibérica), utilizando uma abordagem taxonómica comparando estes resultados com os levantamentos biológicos obtidos através de vários estudos de ecologia realizados durante 4 décadas. Foi identificado um total de 64 espécies de crustáceos no âmbito deste estudo, no qual 44 eram novos registos para o estuário do rio Minho, em comparação com as 25 espécies identificadas nos levantamentos biológicos analisados. Sendo um dos primeiros estudos desta natureza no rio Minho, o principal objectivo será o de prestar apoio taxonómico em futuros projectos nesta área, contribuindo para o conhecimento da fauna de Portugal e da Península Ibérica.Environmental Smoke Institute2021-12-31info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdftext/htmlhttps://environmentalsmoke.com.br/index.php/EnvSmoke/article/view/18110.32435/envsmoke/xibesymp.6Environmental Smoke; No. Special Issue (2021): X Iberian Symposium on the Hydrographic Minho River Basin; 36-43Environmental Smoke; n.
