Global Patterns of Marine Biodiversity (2010)

The dataset shows the global patterns of marine biodiversity (species richness) across 13 major species groups ranging from zooplankton to marine mammals (11,567 species in total). These groups include marine zooplankton (foraminifera and euphausiids), plants (mangroves and seagrasses), invertebr...

short_description	The dataset shows the global patterns of marine biodiversity (species richness) across 13 major species groups. The dataset was created alongside the publication by Tittensor et al. (2010a), to address the need for understanding on the distribution and drivers of marine biodiversity.
