Ecological Biogeography of the Terrestrial Nematodes of Victoria Land, Antarctica (Data Archive)

Description

The terrestrial ecosystems of Victoria Land, Antarctica are characteristically simple in terms of biological diversity and ecological functioning. Nematodes are the most commonly encountered and abundant metazoans of Victoria Land soils, yet little is known of their diversity and distribution. Herein we present a summary of the geographic distribution, habitats and ecology of the terrestrial nematodes of Victoria Land from published and unpublished sources. Published in Zookeys as: Ecological Biogeography of the Terrestrial Nematodes of Victoria Land, Antarctica. Byron J. Adams, Diana H. Wall, Ross A. Virginia, Emma Broos, Matthew A. Knox

Sampling Description

Study Extent

Victoria Land Antarctica 1970 - 2013

Sampling

Based on published and unpublished data, we summarized biogeographic information on the species represented within each nematode genus described in Victoria Land. In addition to published papers, we present information obtained from data on soil, and lake and stream sediment samples collected throughout Victoria Land, by the authors and team members during the austral summers between and including 1990 and 2004.
