Is Marine Biodiversity At Risk?
Science, 1994Evidence is beginning to accumulate that human development of coastlines and overfishing may be having deleterious effects on marine biodiversity. Although some biologists doubt marine extinctions, the possibility is being taken seriously by scientific organizations, who have been sponsoring conferences and workshops on the changing diversity of the ...

Biodiversity of Marine Ecosystems
2023The water covers about 71% of the earth's surface and occupies an area of about 361 million km2 and a volume of about 1370 million km3 of water. Oceans and seas are responsible for maintaining the global climate by regulating air temperature and supplying moisture for rainfall. They play a major part in the global carbon cycle, removing almost 25% of

This chapter covers what is meant when we talk about marine biodiversity. The term ‘biodiversity’ is a value-laden term because of its links to biological conservation. Marine biodiversity can be studied at any level of biological organization, from biomolecules to the biosphere. Whether or not viruses should be included as part of biodiversity depends

The biodiversity of many ecosystems is under threat and although seas cover the majority of our planet's surface, far less is known about the biodiversity of marine environments than that of terrestrial systems. It is also not clear whether many of the patterns known to occur on land also occur in the sea.

The Importance of Marine Biodiversity
2014The study of marine biodiversity is timely and fundamental for a number of reasons (CBD, Global Biodiversity Outlook 3, 2010). Marine biodiversity plays a key role through ecosystem services (provisioning and regulation, amongst others). They provide economic wealth and resources that range from active ingredients for pharmaceuticals and medicine to ...

History of marine biodiversity
Geological Journal, 2001AbstractDuring the Phanerozoic, three steps of increasing diversity each had a unique Evolutionary Fauna (EF). During each EF, there were geologically long intervals of community stasis referred to as Ecological Evolutionary Units (EEUs). These intervals were characterized by communities composed of incumbent faunas that dominated particular habitats ...

Marine and Coastal Biodiversity
1997Abstract The Indonesian Archipelago is one of the richest marine biodiversity areas in the world. While the total biodiversity of any particular area is a function of a complex set of physical, chemical and biological interactions, as well as geological history, it will be useful here to discuss biodiversity at two levels, namely at ...

This chapter assesses how biodiversity research is carried out scientifically by being quantified. By measuring a component of marine biodiversity, ecologists can postulate hypotheses and make predictions that can be subjected to rigorous scientific testing. Species diversity is the component of marine biodiversity most commonly measured.

The MARINe (Multi-Agency Rocky Intertidal Network) Biodiversity Surveys provide detailed information about biodiversity and community structure at sites ranging from Southeast Alaska to Mexico. These surveys were designed to measure diversity and abundance of algae and invertebrates found within rocky intertidal communities on the western coast of ...
