| Summary: | Geodia species north of 60°N in the Atlantic appeared in the literature for the first time when Bowerbank described Geodia barretti and G. macandrewii in 1858 from western Norway. Since then, a number of species have been based on material from various parts of the region: G. simplex, Isops phlegraei, I. pallida, I. sphaeroides, Synops pyriformis, G. parva, G. normani, G. atlantica, Sidonops mesotriaena (now called G. hentscheli), and G. simplicissima. In addition to these 12 nominal species, four species described from elsewhere are claimed to have been identified in material from the northeast Atlantic, namely G. nodastrella and G. cydonium (and its synonyms Cydonium muelleri and Geodia gigas). In this paper, we revise the boreo-arctic Geodia species using morphological, molecular, and biogeographical data. We notably compare northwest and northeast Atlantic specimens. Biological data (reproduction, biochemistry, microbiology, epibionts) for each species are also reviewed. Our results show that there are ... : Geodia boreo-arctic distributionThis excel file includes locality records for all six species of boreo-arctic Geodia examined by us in various campaigns/museums collections and from the litterature. This file includes geographical coordinates, museum collection or reference, temperature and salinity when available. When the latitude/longitude information was missing but the locality was given, we reconstructed the geographic coordinates using Google Earth. Temperature ranges for each species were obtained from the campaigns in which bottom temperatures were recorded (e.g. Ingolf Exp., BIOICE, BIOFAR, PA1994, PA2010-009) and from the literature.Geodia_boreo-arctic_distribution.xlsList of Geodia specimens examinedList of boreo-arctic Geodia specimens identified for this study and used to build the distribution maps: In cases where we have many samples from approximately the same locality only a minor number of records are listed; the number in parentheses is the number of specimens caught at each station.List ... |
