AI Article Synopsis
- The B121 expedition was conducted in the Western Antarctic Peninsula from February to March 2019 to assess biodiversity, specifically in inter- and subtidal shallow-water areas.
- Researchers used both traditional marine ecology methods and advanced techniques such as habitat mapping and genetics during the census.
- The dataset provides raw biodiversity occurrence data for a region that has been under-explored, highlighting shallow ecosystems.
Article Abstract
Background: This dataset relates to the biodiversity census carried out during the Belgica 121 (B121) expedition to the Western Antarctic Peninsula from February to March 2019. One of the aims of the campaign was to explore the surroundings of the Gerlache Strait and to carry out a detailed biodiversity census focusing on inter- and subtidal shallow-water areas using both classic descriptive marine ecology methods, as well as state-of-the art techniques (habitat mapping, genetics, trophic ecology). The biodiversity census was carried out onboard a nimble research vessel, RV Australis. This dataset will offer access to the raw data on biodiversity occurrences, obtained using a range of methods described in this data paper.
New Information: New raw biodiversity data for a poorly-sampled region (Western Antarctic Peninsula) with a special focus on shallow ecosystems.
