Abstract: Marine biogeographic realms have been inferred from small groups of species in particular environments (e.g., coastal, pelagic), without a global map of realms based on statistical analysis of species across all higher taxa. Here we… read more here.

Abstract: Recently, Costello et al.1 (hereinafter COS) established 30 marine biogeographic realms, complementing similar work on terrestrial biotas2. However, in our opinion, their methods had two major limitations. First, the results were not reproducible based on… read more here.
