SCAR Biogeographic Atlas of the Southern Ocean - Tintinnid Ciliates of the Southern Ocean - Data

Literature review Dataset supplied in the framework of the Biogeographic Atlas of the Southern Ocean (BASO). The Biogeographic Atlas of the Southern Ocean is assembles a selection of representative maps and syntheses on the distribution of the Southern Ocean organisms, to provide a general overview of the biogeography of the Southern Ocean (s.l.) and a benchmark of current biogeographic knowledge at the end of the Census of Antarctic Marine Life (CAML). This will update the well-known and useful but largely outdated Hedgpeth 1969’s Folio on “Distribution of selected groups of marine invertebrates in waters south of 35°S latitude” in the Antarctic Map Folio Series (American Geographical Society). Species records of tintinnids from the Southern Ocean (locations below 40°S) reported in 56 publications published between 1800 and 2013 were compiled yielding about 2,000 species records (synonyms included) from about 400 locations. The 192 species reported can be parsed into two main groups: 32 endemic Southern Ocean species, known only from 40°S and further south, and a second group of 181 widespread species, forms with extensive geographic ranges extending into the Southern Ocean.本综述数据集依托《南大洋生物地理图集》（Biogeographic Atlas of the Southern Ocean, BASO）项目框架编制。 《南大洋生物地理图集》收录了一系列关于南大洋生物分布的代表性地图与综合研究成果，旨在全面概述广义南大洋（s.l.）的生物地理学特征，并作为南极海洋生物普查（Census of Antarctic Marine Life, CAML）结束时当前生物地理学认知水平的基准。该图集将更新经典实用但已大幅过时的《南极地图对开系列》（Antarctic Map Folio Series，美国地理学会出版）中Hedgpeth于1969年发表的《南纬35°以南海域选定海洋无脊椎动物类群分布》对开册。 本数据集汇编了1800年至2013年间发表的56篇文献中记载的南大洋（南纬40°以南海域）砂壳纤毛虫（tintinnids）物种记录，共计从约400个采样点获取了约2000条物种记录（含同物异名）。本次收录的192个物种可划分为两大类群：其一为32种仅分布于南纬40°以南海域的南大洋特有种；其二为181种广布种，其分布范围广泛并延伸至南大洋海域。
