Occurrence records for the gelatinous predator Paragotoea bathybia, extracted from a 1997 taxonomic redescription. The dataset includes depth of capture data for the species. It was compiled by researchers Pagès F. and Bouillon J. and published in the journal Scientia Marina.
Use Cases
- Analyze the depth distribution of Paragotoea bathybia using the depth_of_capture field.
- Model species occurrence probability based on capture depth as an environmental variable.
- Validate taxonomic and ecological descriptions of Paragotoea bathybia against the original 1997 source data.
Strengths
- Data is extracted from a peer-reviewed scientific publication in Scientia Marina.
- Includes specific depth measurements for species occurrence records.
Limitations
- The number of individual occurrence records is unknown.
- Data is from a single 1997 study, limiting temporal and spatial scope.
- Lacks associated environmental variables beyond depth.
