Acanthoecid choanoflagellates from the Atlantic Arctic Region − a baseline study
The examination and statistical analysis of loricate choanoflagellate material collected from Greenland waters during the period 1988–1998 represents a de facto baseline study of heterotrophic nanoflagellates from the Atlantic Arctic Region. The geographic sites sampled are Disko Bay (West Greenland...
