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.

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Hotspots of Marine Biodiversity
, 2019First used to prioritize terrestrial sites with exceptional concentrations of species, exceptional levels of endemism, under exceptional degrees of threat, the term biodiversity hotspots was extended to the marine realm in 2002.

The Marine Environment and Biodiversity
2022The Marine Environment and Biodiversity introduces the key features of the marine environment and explores definitions of marine biodiversity at different levels of biological organization: genetic, species, ecosystem, and functional. It also discusses how changes in ocean features due to human activities are having a negative impact

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 ...
