Marine biodiversity, biogeography, deep-sea gradients, and conservation
MJ Costello, C Chaudhary - Current Biology, 2017 - cell.com
The oceans appear ideal for biodiversity—they have unlimited water, a large area, are well
connected, have less extreme temperatures than on land, and contain more phyla and …
