Biogeographic distribution of Eudorylaimus species in Victoria Land, Antarctica. NP = not published. NA = not available. ant = Eudorylaimus antarcticus. gla = Eudorylaimus glacialis. For abundance, Low = >0 to 20 nematodes per kg dry soil, M-low = 21 to 200 nematodes per kg dry soil, Medium = 201 to 600 nematodes per kg dry soil, M-high = 601 to 1000 nematodes per kg dry soil, High = 1001 to 2000 nematodes per kg dry soil, V-high = >2000 nematodes per kg dry soil, n = number of samples and % = percentage of samples in which Eudorylaimus occurred. AThere may have been a typographical error in the original publication reporting this longitude. BASPA = Antarctic Specially Protected Area (previously Site of Special Scientific Interest). For references to “this paper”, the year collected refers to the year at the beginning of the austral summer in which samples were collected at 0-10 cm depth.
