Review of the genus Laevilacunaria across its distribution in the Southern Ocean

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.

Project :
Title : Antarctic and sub-Antarctic littorinids database.
Abstract : 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.
