Occurrence dataset https://doi.org/10.15468/eequqq accessed via GBIF.org on 2024-12-14.Description
The present dataset is a compilation of georeferenced occurrences of the littorinid genus Laevilacunaria (Mollusca: Gastropoda) in the Southern Ocean. Occurrence data were obtained from field samplings (Antarctic and sub-Antarctic expeditions) between 2015 and 2022 together with a revision of published literature including records from 1890 to 2022. A total of three Laevilacunaria species have been recorded across the Southern Ocean; Laevilacunaria bennetti, Laevilacunaria antarctica and Laevilacunaria pumilio. The present dataset reaches a total of 70 occurrences, representing the most exhaustive occurrence database of this Antarctic and sub-Antarctic littorinid genus.Purpose
This dataset was created within the framework of the undergraduate thesis of the first author and part of the main research of the principal investigator. The main objective of the data set is built a baseline of the geographic distribution as a complement of the research on the biogeography of litorinids that is currently being carried out in the Laboratorio de Genomica y Ecología Molecular Antártica y Subantártica.
Sampling Description
Study Extent
The database includes all samples collected by several Chilean and British expeditions between 2017 and 2022 in several locations across the South Shetland Islands (Greenwich Island, King George Island, Livingstone Island, Robert Island, Deception Island, Doumar Island,), west part of the Antarctic Peninsula (Margarita Bay, Isabel Riquelme Island) and South Georgia (Trinity Island South Georgia Island). Additionally, we added specimens collected during French Expedition under the IPEV expedition in 2021. Finally, we include published literature records from Signy Island, Anvers Island, Archipelagos of Palmer, Elephant Island, Archipelagos of Melchior, and the Vestfold HillsSampling
The sampling took place in different localities by hand and was carried out by national and international researchers. The sampling methodology presents variations related to the field team, the particular conditions of weather, and each collecting place. Samples were taken directly from different substrates in which Laevilacunaria habitat (rocks, algae, or sediments) within the intertidal and subtidal. All samples were immediately preserved in ethanol (95%). Georeferences positions were recorded using GPS in each sampling location.Quality Control
Records lacking precise geographic location (coordinates) were assigned georeferences by identification from the description (e.g. bay names, research stations) of the reported collection locality included in the relevant metadata.Method steps
- Samples were taken from rocks, macroalgae and sediments within the intertidal and subtidalzone.
- All samples were immediately preserved in ethanol (95%).
- Georeferences positionswere recorded using GPS in each sampling location.
