Dataset: Glaucus atlanticus sample locations, museum voucher and GenBank accession numbers from in a global sample set (Neuston Phylogeny project)

These samples are part of a study that suggests the premise that continents like Europe and the Americas cause barriers to gene flow for the nudibranchs found in the uppermost layer (neuston) of the ocean. The nudibranch Glaucus atlanticus, found in all oceans, was studied to assess the genetic differentiation of mulitiple specimens from a global sampling effort.

This dataset contains information about the Glaucus atlanticus material examined in this study including isolate code, museum voucher number, collection coordinates, gyre system location and GenBank accession numbers. [Table 1, Churchill 2014.]
