Local and regional influences on the species diversity of Antarctic shelf polychaetes. https://marineinfo.org/id/dataset/2408 Availability: Unrestricted for academic use The data are freely available for research and education purposes. Usage acknowledgement is usually expected Description Data for benthic polchaetes (retained on a 300 micrometer seive) collected in megacores from the FOODBANCS 1 project. During FOODBANCS 1, megacore samples were collected and sorted during five cruises (1999-2001) to 3 stations along the West Antarctic Peninsula shelf. The project and data collection are described in Smith et al. (2008), Glover et al. (2008) and Neal et al. (in prep.). more Glover, A.G., Smith, C.R., Mincks, S.L., Sumida, P.Y., Thurber, A., 2008.
