| Abstract | We present a data set on Antarctic biodiversityfor the phylum Rotifera, making it publicly available through the Antarctic Biodiversity Information facility. We providetaxonomic information, geographic distribution, location, and habitatfor each record. The data set gathersallthe published literature about rotifers foundand identified across the Continental, Maritime,and Subantarctic biogeographic regions of Antarctica.A total of 1455records of rotifers in Antarcticafound from 1907 to 2018is reported, with information on taxonomic hierarchies, updated nomenclature, geographic information, geographic coordinates, and type of habitat.The aim is to provide a georeferenced data set on Antarctic rotifers as a baseline for further studies, to improve our knowledge on what has been considered one ofthe most diverse and successful groups of animals living in Antarctica. |
