Global diversity and distributions of symbiotic copepod crustaceans living on echinoderms

Description :

 
This dataset is the first source of information about diversity, hosts and distribution of symbiotic copepods (Copepoda, Crustacea) reported living on echinoderms of the World.
The dataset unites data on all (2080) records of 290 species of copepods representing 96 genera, 35 families and 3 order discovered worldwide associated with 240 species of echinoderms representing 134 genera, 66 families, 24 orders and five classes. It includes information about taxonomy of hosts and symbionts, the names and coordinates of all known (477) sampling sites, the depth and date of all sampling events with such notes in original sources (1401 and 1694, correspondingly), as well as references to almost all (233 from 236) publications.
