Lineage | The data come from previous data collections (not on a continuous period) carried out and hosted at the Fisheries department in the Falkland Islands, SAERI and SMSG database. Additionally new data were obtained from samples collected through diving surveys carried out during the research period in the Falkalnds, from November to December 2014. The main reason for data collection is to improve the inventory of bryozoans in sub antarctic waters and understading the spatial relationships within geographic regions. A total of 351 samples (82 bryozoan species) are analysed for standard taxonomy (morphological characteristics) using existing literature (d'Orbigny (1842), Busk (1884), Waters (1904), Hastings (1943), L?pez Gappa (1982), Gordon (1984, 1986, 1989), L?pez Gappa and Lichtschein (1990), Hayward (1995), L?pez de la Cuadra and Garc?a-G?mez (2000), Branch and Hayward (2005), Hayward and Winston (2011) and Ramalho et al. (2011). The list of the samples includes unknown 18 genera and 37 species, which will be confirmed (18) or identified (19) in further studies. The results will be added to depth and geographic location for the overall investigation of spatial patterns and distribution. |
