SAMBR - Pan-Arctic view of relative distribution of the taxonomic richness of major benthic phyla and classes.
Arthropods (e.g., shrimps, crabs, sea spiders, amphipods, isopods) dominate taxon numbers in all Arctic regions, followed by polychaetes (e.g., bristle worms) and mollusks (e.g., gastropods, bivalves). Other taxon groups are diverse in some regions, such as bryozoans in the Kara Sea, cnidarians in the Atlantic Arctic, and foraminiferans in the Arctic deep-sea basins. This pattern is biased, however, by the meiofauna inclusion for the Arctic Basin (macro- and meiofauna size ranges overlap substantially in deep-sea fauna, so nematodes and foraminiferans are included) and the influence of a lack of specialists for some difficult taxonomic groups.

Each region of the Pan Arctic has been sampled with a set of different sampling gears, including grab, sledge and trawl, while other areas has only been sampled with grab. Here is the complete species/taxa number and the % distribution of species/taxa in main phyla, per region of the Pan Arctic.

You can customize the template to suit your needs. You can add
and remove fields and fill out default information (e.g. contact details).
Fields you can not change in the default view may be accessible in the more
comprehensive (and more complex) advanced view. You can even use the XML editor
to create custom structures, but they have to be validated by the system, so
know what you do :-)
