Description
Records of the sponge Pheronema (P. carpenteri and P. grayi) were identified from records from across the North East Atlantic and Mediterranean. The sampled areas span across more than 40 degrees of latitude: from Cape Verde off the coast of Senegal; to the Cantabrian Sea and the Mediterranean; to the sea-mounts and subtidal deep-water basins littering the sea off the North West coast of Scotland. The authors compiled presence and distribution records for both species over the course of 56 years (1960-2016).
Data Records
The data in this sampling event 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 152 records.
2 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.
Versions
The table below shows only published versions of the resource that are publicly accessible.
