Integrated assessment of marine biodiversity status using a prototype indicator-based assessment tool [PDF]
Frontiers in Marine Science, 2014 Integrated assessment of the status of marine biodiversity is and has been problematic compared to, for example, assessments of eutrophication and contamination status, mostly as a consequence of the fact that monitoring of marine habitats, communities ...

Marine biodiversity and the chessboard of life [PDF]
PLOS ONE, 2018 Species richness is greater in places where the number of potential niches is high. Consequently, the niche may be fundamental for understanding the arrangement of life and especially, the establishment and maintenance of the well-known Latitudinal Biodiversity Gradient (LBG).

Methods for the Study of Marine Biodiversity [PDF]
, 2016 Recognition of the threats to biodiversity and its importance to society has led to calls for globally coordinated sampling of trends in marine ecosystems. As a step to defining such efforts, we review current methods of collecting and managing marine biodiversity data.

Thresholds of hypoxia for marine biodiversity [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2008 Hypoxia is a mounting problem affecting the world's coastal waters, with severe consequences for marine life, including death and catastrophic changes. Hypoxia is forecast to increase owing to the combined effects of the continued spread of coastal eutrophication and global warming.

Hotspots of Cenozoic Tropical Marine Biodiversity [PDF]
, 2022 Hotspots of tropical marine biodiversity are areas that harbour disproportionately large numbers of species compared to surrounding regions. The richness and location of these hotspots have changed throughout the Cenozoic. Here, we review the global dynamics of Cenozoic tropical marine biodiversity hotspots, including the four major hotspots of the ...
