SOMBASE – Southern Ocean mollusc database: a tool for biogeographic analysis in diversity and evolution ...
Databases and Geographical Information Systems are becoming increasingly popular tools for biogeographic analysis. The reliability of the analysis depends on the accuracy of the entered data and the ability to add changes in systematics and taxonomy. The main aim of the Southern Ocean Mollusc Databa...
