Distributional data on planktic copepods (Crustacea, Copepoda) collected in the framework of the III, V, and X Expeditions of the Italian National Antarctic Program (PNRA) to the Ross Sea sector from 1987 to 1995 are here provided. Sampling was performed with BIONESS and WP2 nets at 94 sampling stations at depths of 0-1,000 m, with a special focus on the Terra Nova Bay area. Altogether, this dataset comprises 6,027 distributional records, out of which 5,306 were obtained by digitizing original data reports and 721 are based on physical museum vouchers curated by the Italian National Antarctic Museum (MNA, Section of Genoa). The MNA samples include 8,224 individual specimens that were identified to the lowest possible taxonomic level. They belong to four orders, 25 families, 52 genera, and 82 morphological units (out of which 17 could be determined at the genus level only). A variety of environmental data were also recorded at each of the sampling stations, and we report original abundances (ind/m) to enable future species distribution modelling. From a biogeographic point of view, the distributional data here reported represented new records for the Global Biogeographic Information Facility (GBIF) registry. In particular, 62% of the total number of species are new records for the Ross Sea sector and another 28% new records for the Antarctic region.
本文提供了1987年至1995年期间，在意大利国家南极计划（PNRA）的第三次、第五次和第十次罗斯海考察中收集的浮游桡足类（甲壳纲，桡足亚纲）分布数据。采样使用BIONESS和WP2网在94个采样站进行，深度为0至1000米，特别关注了特拉诺瓦湾地区。该数据集总共包含6027条分布记录，其中5306条是通过对原始数据报告进行数字化获得的，721条基于意大利国家南极博物馆（热那亚分馆，MNA）保存的实物标本。MNA的样本包括8224个个体标本，已鉴定到尽可能低的分类级别。它们属于四个目、25个科、52个属和82个形态单位（其中17个只能鉴定到属级）。每个采样站还记录了各种环境数据，我们报告了原始丰度（个体数/立方米），以便未来进行物种分布建模。从生物地理学的角度来看，这里报告的分布数据是全球生物地理信息设施（GBIF）登记处的新记录。特别是，物种总数的62%是罗斯海地区的新记录，另有28%是南极地区的新记录。
