MICRO-INVERTEBRATE COMMUNITY STRUCTURE WITHIN A MARITIME ANTARCTIC LAKE (Eleventh Symposium on Polar Biology)
The data set discussed here was obtained from a transect across a depth profile in Sombre Lake (Signy Island, South Orkney Islands). The fauna, composed of benthonic micro-invertebrates, was readily observed grazing on the surface of the cyanobacterial mats that form a thin cover on the surface of t...

The data set discussed here was obtained from a transect across a depth profile in Sombre Lake (Signy Island, South Orkney Islands). The fauna, composed of benthonic micro-invertebrates, was readily observed grazing on the surface of the cyanobacterial mats that form a thin cover on the surface of the sediments. Algal mat composition varied in response to factors such as light, climate, and ice scour. Micro-invertebrate species diversity was limited, but population numbers were high. The results indicated a degree of substrate selectivity by the invertebrate community as illustrated by the distribution of tardigrades-a major component of the faunal community.
