Title

Diversity of diversities: A response to Chaudhary, Saeedi, and Costello

Abstract

Chaudhary, Saeedi, and Costello [1] argued against the paradigm of a unimodal richness pattern for marine species that peaks at the equator. They demonstrated that many marine taxa have a bimodal richness-distribution pattern that peaks close to tropical latitudes, and that richness is usually greater in the northern hemisphere (i.e., the pattern is asymmetric). Indeed, the unimodal pattern is often uncritically assumed for marine species, most likely by analogy with terrestrial patterns. However, we believe that important caveats regarding the reasoning of Chaudhary et al.
