Biogeography of Bunger Hills
Locations of plants (moss, Lichens - Buellia frigida, Physcia caesia, Rhizocarpon flavum, Usnea antarctica, Umbilicaria decussata)
Locations of birds (Wilsons Storm Petrels (Oceanites oceanicus), Snow Petrels (Pagodroma nivea), Skua (Catharacta mccormicki)) sightings and, more rarely, nests.
Data consist of grid references.
Snow petrel nests were digitised in November 2023 from fig.3 upper panel of the research paper: Leishman, M., Gibson, J., and Gore, D. (2020). Spatial distribution of birds and terrestrial plants in Bunger Hills. Antarctic Science, 32(2), 153-166. doi:10.1017/S0954102020000012. This data has been added to the metadata record as a point shapefile.
