The past two and a half centuries of marine biological work in the Southern Ocean have resulted in a vast catalogue of living organisms. During this time there have been several attempts to classify distinct regional biodiversity patterns in the seas around Antarctica.

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.

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

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 ...

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

Gradients in marine biodiversity
Science, 2017Marine Biodiversity Marine animal biodiversity increases severalfold toward the tropics, but a general theory to explain this is lacking. Edgar et al. used extensive global surveys to address this question for fish and mobile invertebrates on rocky reefs over 100° of latitude.

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 ...
