Description
Summary:The data used in this Atlas were primarily drawn from SCAR-MarBIN (ScientificCommittee on Antarctic ResearchMarine Biodiversity Information Network,www.scarmarbin.be ) and its successor project ANTABIF (the AntarcticBiodiversity Information Facility, www.biodiversity.aq). These two initiatives,both official SCAR products, are responsible for managing Antarctic biodiversitydata, including that from the ambitious Census of Antarctic MarineLife programme (CAML; Danis et al. 2013), linked to the International PolarYear 2007-09. The complete expert-validated database, including recordsfrom beyond the SCAR-MarBIN primary area of interest up to 40S (Map 1),represents 1.07 million occurrence records for 9064 validated species from~434,000 distinct sampling stations.
