All scientific data collected by the Australian Antarctic program (AAp) are eventually described in the Catalogue of Australian Antarctic and Subantarctic Metadata (CAASM). CAASM can be used to search through AAp data descriptions, and it also provides links to access publicly available datasets, which can either be immediately downloaded or obtained from the Australian Antarctic Data Centre (AADC).

Description

The occurrence of collembola(springtails) in the Antarctic and sub-Antarctic was reviewed using published and unpublished sources. These data were compiled into a summary database. Where possible synonyms were identified and recent taxonomic clarifications were taken into account. The taxonomy of several genera still remains uncertain.

This work was completed as part of ASAC (AAS) project 3095 (ASAC_3095).
