Patterns in the distribution of Arctic freshwater zooplankton related to glaciation history
We analysed circumpolar samples from 68 lakes within the 10 degrees C-July isotherm from Arctic Canada, Nunavut, Greenland, Svalbard, Eastern Siberia, the Beringia region, and Alaska. In total, we found 3 species of Anostraca, 17 of Diplostraca, 1 species of cyclopoid and 14 species of calanoid cope...
