Project title: Comprehensive sampling reveals circumpolarity and sympatry in seven mitochondrial lineages of the Southern Ocean crinoid species Promachocrinus kerguelensis (Echinodermata)
Personnel: Lenaïg G. Hemery

Study area descriptions/descriptor: The 1307 specimens in this dataset were collected from the Southern Ocean, south of the Sub-Antarctic Front (SAF): Kerguelen Plateau (Kerguelen and Heard islands), Davis Sea, Dumont d’Urville Sea, Ross Sea, Amundsen Sea, West Antarctic Peninsula, East Weddell Sea and Scotia Arc (from the tip of the Antarctic Peninsula and the Bransfield Strait to the South Georgia island). The bathymetric range extended from 65 to 1162 meters deep.
Design description: This dataset was gathered to conduct a circumpolar phylogeographic study of the crinoid species Promachocrinus kerguelensis (

General taxonomic coverage description: This dataset focuses on the Antarctic comatulid species Promachocrinus kerguelensis (
Phylum: Echinodermata
Class: Crinoidea
Order: Comatulida
Family: Antedonidae
Subfamily: Heliometrinae
Genus: Promachocrinus
Species: kerguelensis
Common names: echinoderm, crinoid, comatulid, feather star
The specimens of Promachocrinus kerguelensis gathered in this dataset were collected from most of the strategic regions in the Southern Ocean (triangles in Figure 2): the Antarctic continental shelf (East Weddell Sea, Davis Sea, Dumont d’Urville Sea, Ross Sea, Amundsen Sea, West Antarctic Peninsula), the Scotia Arc islands (South Shetland, South Orkney and South Sandwich) and the Sub-Antarctic islands (South Georgia, Kerguelen and Heard). Specimens were sampled at depths ranging from 65 m to 1162 m. This covers most of the known distribution area of this species (black circles in Figure 2), but only a portion of the bathymetric range for this species, which extends from 10 m to 2100 m (

The specimens were collected during one to four different cruises per sampling region for a total of 17 cruises from 1996 to 2010 (Figure 3). However, the number of specimens was too variable among cruises to be statistically compared (see details of numbers in the Methods part).
