Specifically, we determine the extent to which environmental conditions can predict genus richness in macroalgae. We also evaluate whether the magnitude or direction of the effect of environmental factors, or their ability to explain variation in macroalgal diversity, varies geographicallyLocationGlobal oceans.MethodsWe formulated and fitted global spatial regression models and geographically weighted regression (GWR) models to determine the extent to which environmental conditions could predict genus richness in macroalgae. GWR allowed us to determine how the role of environmental conditions varied amongst geographical regionsResultsThe global regression model showed that sea surface temperature and nutrients were important predictors of macroalgal genus richness at a global scale. However, GWR revealed that environmental factors explained less variability in richness in the tropics than elsewhereMain conclusionsOur results show that whilst environmental conditions influence marine macroalgal diversity, the strength of this influence shows considerable geographical variation. In particular, environmental conditions explain more of the observed variation in diversity at high latitudes than at low latitudes. This finding is consistent with the hypothesis that environmental tolerances influence species distributions more strongly at high latitudes, whereas other factors, such as biotic interactions, play a more prominent role in the tropics.","AbstractOtherLang":null,"BibLvlCode":"AS","StandardTitle":"Global diversity of marine macroalgae: environmental conditions explain less variation in the tropics","OrigTitleLangCode":"en","OrigTitleLangCodeExtended":"eng","OrigTitleLangID":15,"DateLastModified":{"date":"2026-06-13 01:31:19.806732","timezone_type":1,"timezone":"+02:00"},"UserAccessRight":null,"UserAccID":null,"AuthorKeywords":" Biogeography; colonization; competition; geographically weighted regression; herbivory; macroecology; origination; seaweed; species interactions; time-for-speciation","OtherDescriptors":null,"Notes":null,"AnaPub":2014,"MonPub":null,"DateUpdate":"2020-06-26","DateCreate":"2013-11-12","SecASFANote":null,"ConfID":null,"PeerRev":1,"VlizCoreFlag":1,"WoScode":"WOS:000333417100001","VABBcode":null,"OpenAcc":0,"DOI":"10.1111/geb.12132"},"refs":null,"anarec":{"AnaID":230425,"PubliDate":2014,"Pagination":"517-529","XtraPublOfAnaID":null,"ISBN":null,"Volume":"23","Issue":"5","BRefMon":null,"BRefMonRR":null,"BRefXtra":null,"BRefXtraRR":null,"SerBRefID":45428,"SerRR":"Global Ecology and Biogeography.
