Morphology and Distribution of the Acanthoecidae (Choanoflagellata) from the Weddell Sea during the Austral Summer, 1977
Eight species of loricate choanoflagellates (Acanthoecidae), Acanthoecopsis spiculifera, Bicosta spinifera, Bicosta antennigera, Calliacantha simplex, Calliacantha multispina aff., Crinolina aperta, Diaphanoeca multiannulata, and Parvicorbicula socialis, were observed in samples obtained from the We...
