Yan Ropert-Coudert has provided a new dataset on tracking data for king penguins, as a contribution from the new SCAR-EGBAMM group. The dataset includes over 100k records from GPS tracking of known-age and sex king penguins from Crozet Archipelago (age data are available upon request from the senior author).
New dataset: Antarctic Arrow worms
Arrow worms (Phylum Chaetognatha) are abundant planktonic organisms and important predators in many food webs; yet, the classification and evolutionary relationships among chaetognath species remain poorly understood. A seemingly simple body plan is underlain by subtle variation in morphological details, obscuring the affinities of species within the phylum. Many species achieve near global distributions, … Continue reading New dataset: Antarctic Arrow worms
New dataset: Antarctic Nemertea
Open-ocean environments provide few obvious barriers to the dispersal of marine organisms. Major currents and/or environmental gradients potentially impede gene flow. One system hypothesized to form an open-ocean dispersal barrier is the Antarctic Polar Front, an area characterized by marked temperature change, deep water, and the high-flow Antarctic Circumpolar current. Despite these potential isolating … Continue reading New dataset: Antarctic Nemertea
New dataset: Southern Ocean Ostracoda (except Halocypridina)
A new dataset is available on southern ocean Ostracods. It was prepared by Simone Brandao, with the support of a Total Foundation minigrant.The Southern Ocean Ostracoda database will include all records of Ostracoda except for the Halocypridina, which are edited by Martin Angel and Kasia Blachowiak-Samolyk.
New dataset: Antarctic Amphipoda
A new dataset is available, including original records on Amphipods from Claude De Broyer team. The data is extracted from the Catalogue of the Gammaridean and Corophiidean Amphipoda (Crustacea) of the Southern Ocean with distribution and ecological data. In: De Broyer C. (Ed.), Census of Antarctic Marine Life, Synopsis of the Amphipoda of the Southern Ocean. … Continue reading New dataset: Antarctic Amphipoda
New dataset: GICIM, Natural History Museum Paris
Gicim includes specimen data from the ichtyology collection from MNHN, Paris. This part of the collection data focuses on southern ocean specimens.
New dataset: Antarctic Amphipoda
In Antarctic waters, the superfamily Lysianassoidea is one of the most important amphipod groups both in terms of species number and abundance. Dominant members of this superfamily are species of the orchomenid complex, found throughout the Southern Ocean...
