Description

Checklist of rotifers from Antarctica and Subantarctica were previously compiled by de Paggi Koste (1984), Dartnall Hollowday (1985), Sudzuki (1988), Kutikova (1991), and Vekhov (1993); Antarctic records are also to be found in Segers (2007) and Jersabek Leitner (2013). The ‘Antarctic Region’ in Segers (2007, 2008) and Jersabek Leitner (2013), however, also included the cool-temperate, ocean-temperate biogeographic provinces (South Atlantic, South Indian and South Pacific islands) and part of the Indian South subtropical province. Vellasco-Castrillón et al. (2014a) listed the species found south of 60°S, inclusive Maritime Antarctic records from the Antarctic Peninsula and the South Shetland and South Orkney Islands. We started our literature review from the above checklists but, in order to minimize inaccuracies as much as possible, we expanded the literature search through available reference databases (e.g. Google Scholar, Scopus, Web of Science, Zoological Record), and consulted each of the 93 references used in this study.
