This 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.
