New data on limno-terrestrial rotifers of the world
The dataset provides new, georeferenced data on the occurrence of rotifer species inhabiting limno-terrestrial habitats worldwide. For the first time, occurrence records for 48 rotifer species (including nominal taxonomic 'subspecies') are published in GBIF.In particular, the dataset significantly expands the information on the distribution ranges of the bdelloid rotifers (order Bdelloidea) in GBIF. We contributed 5,651 new occurrence records of bdelloids rotifers, increasing the number of records in GBIF by 47.5% (or by 61.6% when considering only previously georeferenced records).Moreover, we add 394 new records to the faunas of 49 of 56 studied countries, in 17 of which limno-terrestrial rotifers were studied for the first time.Additionally, for 19 countries, records of bdelloid rotifers are now available in GBIF for the first time.
