Quaternary and Recent Mediterranean and North Atlantic Bryozoans

Data Records

The data in this occurrence resource has been published as a Darwin Core Archive (DwC-A), which is a standardized format for sharing biodiversity data as a set of one or more data tables. The core data table contains 4,594 records.

1 extension data tables also exist. An extension record supplies extra information about a core record. The number of records in each extension data table is illustrated below.

This IPT archives the data and thus serves as the data repository. The data and resource metadata are available for download in the downloads section. The versions table lists other versions of the resource that have been made publicly available and allows tracking changes made to the resource over time.

Geographic Coverage

Quaternary and Mediterranean, Arctic and North Atlantic Recent bryozoan. Mainly from latitude 50.87 and longitude 1.08 to latitude 5.73 and longitude 10.08. There is a specimen from New Zeland (latitude -34.16 and longitude 172.10) and 135 from the Antarctic Ocean (from latitude -52.31 and longitude -41.03 to latitude -62.06 and longitude -59.18). These include Croatia,France,Greece, Italy, Portugal, Spain, Morocco, Republic of Liberia, New Zeland and Antarctic.

Taxonomic Coverage

Fossil and recent bryozoans

Temporal Coverage

Project Data

This Project aims to record, on a worldwide map with SEM photographs, all the Quaternary and Mediterranean and North Atlantic Recent bryozoan taxa kept in museums which are participants of the Synthesys Scheme in order to help with bryozoan taxonomic identification. For this, all the specimens are georeferenced and a type specimen or the best specimen of each species has been scanned under scanning electron microscope (SEM). This information is displayed through the own museums’ websites with links to their associated partners on this project (see below participants) and the GBIF Website as well. This project contributes with more than 50 bryozoan taxa not recorded on any Website. It is 3.4% of the current identified taxa from Quaternary and Mediterranean and North Atlantic recent bryozoan taxa.
