Checklist of pioneer benthic taxa found on Autonomous Reef Monitoring Structures (ARMS) (Leray and Knowlton, 2015) in Terra Nova Bay (Ross Sea, Antarctica) is an occurrence type dataset published by Italian National Antarctic Museum (MNA, Section of Genoa). The information provided here represents the specimens stored at the Italian National Antarctic Museum (MNA) belonging to the pioneer benthic communities acquired in the context of 2 different research projects that took place during 6 scientific polar expeditions conducted in Antarctica. It represents the first source documenting the Antarctic pioneer benthic species list sampled using ARMS in Tethys Bay (Terra Nova Bay, Ross Sea) from 2015-12-01 to 2022-11-08. This dataset reports a total of 277 occurrences and corresponding to 43 families, 49 genera and 39 different species. Out of the total occurrences reported, 155 are identified to the species level, 99 to the genus and 4 to the family level. The data is published as a standardized Darwin Core ...
