Abstract

The distributions of tintinnid ciliate species were analyzed in the Mediterranean, Black and Azov seas, and the Arctic, Indian, Atlantic, Pacific and Southern oceans. Data on the distribution of 916 tintinnid species were processed. It was found that distribution of tintinnids corresponds both to Ubiquity model (EiE) and Moderate endemicity model (MEM), depending on the used spatial scale. As a result, a Scale-Dependent Model (SDM) of marine tintinnid ciliate distribution was proposed.
