Mapping knowledge gaps in marine diversity reveals a latitudinal gradient of missing species richness
A Menegotto, TF Rangel - Nature communications, 2018 - nature.com
A reliable description of any spatial pattern in species richness requires accurate knowledge
about species geographical distribution. However, sampling bias may generate artefactual …
