Echinoderms from the Seaflower Biosphere Reserve

This dataset is described and analyzed in the Data Report “Echinoderms of the Seaflower Biosphere Reserve: state of knowledge and new findings” published in the journal Frontiers in Marine Science 6:188, doi: 10.3389/fmars.2019.00188. The data set comprises the checklist of the echinoderms species from the SeaFlower Biosphere Reserve (SFBR) based on the registers previously published by Borrero-Pérez et al. (2016), peer-reviewed papers or published reports of several investigations, open-access databases and records from unpublished results of samplings conducted in 2011 by Universidad Nacional de Colombia-Sede Caribe and the Seaflower Expeditions 2016 and 2017. A total of 148 echinoderm species were found within the SFBR. Ophiuroidea was the most species-rich class (44 species), followed by Asteroidea (38), Echinoidea (31), Holothuroidea (26) and finally Crinoidea (9).
