Over het archief
Het OWA, het open archief van het Waterbouwkundig Laboratorium heeft tot doel alle vrij toegankelijke onderzoeksresultaten van dit instituut in digitale vorm aan te bieden. Op die manier wil het de zichtbaarheid, verspreiding en gebruik van deze onderzoeksresultaten, alsook de wetenschappelijke communicatie maximaal bevorderen.
Dit archief wordt uitgebouwd en beheerd volgens de principes van de Open Access Movement, en het daaruit ontstane Open Archives Initiative.

| Abstract |
Aim: This systematic review aims to analyse the current status of research on marine bipolar and antitropical distribution pat?terns by exploring temporal trends, studied taxa, inconsistencies in definitions and the extent of molecular evidence in bipolar and antitropical species.Location: Global marine environments, with a special focus on Polar Regions.Time Period: 1800s to 2024.Major Taxa Studied: Marine taxa across all phyla, ranging from algae and zooplankton groups to fish and cetaceans.Methods: A systematic literature search was conducted using Scopus, PubMed and Google Scholar databases. Studies were screened for relevant publications of marine taxa displaying bipolar or antitropical distributions, and data were extracted in order to perform a numerical summary of aspects including temporal trends, taxa representation and agreement with this article's standardised definitions. Additional data were gathered from The Arctic Register of Marine Species (ARMS) and The Register of Antarctic Marine Species (RAMS) databases. Distribution data were then extracted to verify the potential bipolarity of species present in both databases.Results: From 221 articles, 665 marine taxa records were extracted, of which 517 records were categorised as antitropical and 148 as bipolar. Molecular evidence existed for 25% of non-paleontological records. A considerable amount of records (44%) did not match the definitions used in this review. The data taken from ARMS and RAMS revealed 408 shared species, of which 41 species were listed as bipolar by the literature collected in this study.Main Conclusions: Marine bipolarity and antitropicality have been topics of interest since the 1800s, especially between 2008 and 2017. However, the discrepancy between the number of potentially bipolar species in publicly available species databases and literature-based estimates underscores the need for further research of neglected taxa. Future research should prioritise including molecular evidence, transparent terminology and interdisciplinary approaches to address the complexities of marine disjunct distributions. |
