Latitude versus local effects on echinoderm communities along the Victoria-Land (Ross Sea, Antarctica)
Data from two new cruises is used to assess whether latitude plays any role in influencing broadscale 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 latitud...
