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.

Data Records

Project Data

This project seeks to provide information on the distribution of three species of Laevilacunaria (L.antarctica, L. bennetti and L. pumilio). This database is the result of scientific literature records and sampling efforts from different international and national initiatives. With this data, we aim to increase our knowledge of the genus in terms of the distribution and history of the littorinids across the Southern Ocean.

Study Area Description This dataset includes geographical areas of sampling throughout the South Shetland Islands (Greenwich Island, King George Island, Livingstone Island, Robert Island, Deception Island, Doumer Island), the west part of the Antarctic Peninsula (Margarita Bay, Isabel Riquelme Island), and South Georgia (Trinity Island South Georgia Island). Additionally, we included the areas described in the literature (Signy Island, Anvers Island, Archipelagos of Palmer, Elephant Island, Archipelagos of Melchior, and Vestfold Hills).
Design Description This project will underpin future comprehensive biogeographic processes in the different species of Laevilacunaria, including the use of phylogeographic approaches to evaluate the impact of historical climate changes in the Southern Ocean macro-zones. Additionally, this database will serve as a baseline for further morphological and morphometric analyses in the genus.

Sampling Methods

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.

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 Hills
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 step description:

  1. Samples were taken from rocks, macroalgae and sediments within the intertidal and subtidalzone.
  2. All samples were immediately preserved in ethanol (95%).
  3. Georeferences positionswere recorded using GPS in each sampling location.
