Description

This dataset includes occurrences of the limpet genus Nacella across its distribution in the Southern Ocean, compiled from published data and material (specimens and nucleic acids) associated with the Laboratorio de Genómica y Ecología Molecular Antártica y Sub-Antártica (LAGEMAS) and the Millennium Institute BASE.

Our aim is to provide a comprehensive description of the geographic distribution of the genus Nacella to enhance the understanding of marine biodiversity at higher latitudes

Project Data

This data aims to provide a comprehensive description of the geographic distribution of the genus of true limpets Nacella across its distribution in different provinces of the Southern Ocean. This data set was developed as part of the doctorate research, as well a several projects of the main researcher Dr. Claudio González-Wevar.

Sampling Methods

Samples were collected from the intertidal and subtidal zones (1-5 m) at each locality by snorkeling. The samples were found on rocks, boulders, sand, or algae and were preserved in ethanol.

Study Extent Samples were collected in four localities of the Western Antarctic Region: Maher in Siple Island (-72,96667, -126,36667), Stonington (-68,18832, -66,99088), Sims (-73,28201, -78,54316), and the locality assigned as “E7” (-65,10436, -64,0492)

Method step description:

  1. 1. Collection of specimens from the intertidal and subtidal zone by hand while snorkeling 2. Preservation in ethanol 3. Transportation to LAEGMAS lab for identification and other analysis
