It showed that a metacommunity model implementation of the theory can reproduce first-order patterns of declining species richness from the tropics to the poles in an idealized cylindrical ocean. This chapter tests the theory in a more realistic setting by fitting the neutral-metabolic metacommunity model to a global equal-area grid with a more realistic spatial structure. The rationale here is to explore whether the communities that evolve in a simple theoretical model can reproduce observed patterns of species richness in the real world, and reconcile the contrasting patterns seen in coastal, pelagic, deep-sea, and terrestrial habitats.","PeriodicalId":437964,"journal":{"name":"A Theory of Global Biodiversity (MPB-60)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-06-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128651031","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

From this theory, it devises a spatial metacommunity model that enables the reconstruction of documented patterns of species richness from first principles and the prediction of their major features. The chapter starts with a simple, flexible, and tractable framework that can be built on and expanded in order to test competing hypotheses. This modeling approach may be described as an experimental toolbox for global biodiversity patterns. The aim is not necessarily to achieve the highest predictive power, but to explore the possibility space of global biodiversity patterns and their drivers.","PeriodicalId":437964,"journal":{"name":"A Theory of Global Biodiversity (MPB-60)","volume":"8 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-06-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123908001","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The discussion is limited to macroecological patterns at continental to global scales (thousands of km). The chapter also focuses on the simplest measure of biodiversity—namely, species richness. The discussions cover marine coastal biodiversity, marine pelagic biodiversity, deep-sea biodiversity, terrestrial biodiversity, changes in biodiversity patterns through time, and robustness of documented biodiversity patterns. Among the findings is that averaging across all known species groups on land and in the sea, tropical peaks in species richness were as common as subtropical peaks, whereas species groups cresting in temperate or polar latitudes were more exceptional. Thus, the oft-cited unimodal pattern of biodiversity appears frequently, particularly on land, but there is also evidence that supports a newly emerging paradigm of asymmetric unimodal or bimodal peaks often in the subtropics, and particularly in the marine realm.","PeriodicalId":437964,"journal":{"name":"A Theory of Global Biodiversity (MPB-60)","volume":"54 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-06-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123326057","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Among these findings is clear evidence that global biodiversity organizes into distinct patterns within four major biogeographic realms: coastal, pelagic, deep ocean, and land. Taxonomically distinct species groups tended to show similar patterns of biodiversity at large scales within each of these four realms. A body of theory was devised that might explain observed biodiversity patterns within and across taxa. This theory suggests that only two variables are required to predict the majority of first-order patterns of biodiversity on our planet: ambient temperature and community size. Temperature primarily affects the rate of community turnover and the speed of evolution, while community size determines the number of individuals on which evolutionary processes can act.","PeriodicalId":437964,"journal":{"name":"A Theory of Global Biodiversity (MPB-60)","volume":"29 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-06-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127200249","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
