Southern Ocean Biogeography of Tintinnid Ciliates of the Marine Plankton
Abstract Ciliate microzooplankton are important grazers in most pelagic ecosystems and among them, tintinnids, with their largely species‐specific loricas, allow relatively easy assessment of questions of diversity and distributions. Herein, we present the results of a survey of species records of t...
