Latitude versus local effects on echinoderm assemblages along the Victoria Land coast, Ross Sea, Antarctica
Data from two new cruises is used to assess whether latitude plays any role in influencing broad-scale spatial patterns in echinoderm assemblage composition along the Victoria Land coast and the Balleny Islands as a contribution to the Latitudinal Gradient Project. Our results indicate that a latitu...
