Researchers Derek P. Tittensor, Camilo Mora, Walter Jetz, Heike K. Lotze, Daniel Ricard, Edward Vanden Berghe, and Boris Worm all worked on the journal titled \u201cGlobal Patterns and Predictors of Marine Biodiversity Across Taxa.\u00a0 Their topic and research question was to figure out how marine biodiversity varies on a global scale in patterns and predictors.\u00a0 They chose to work with marine biodiversity because not much in known about it compared to land biodiversity.\u00a0 They studied thirteen different taxonomic that ranged from zooplankton marine mammals in order to get a wide variety of information; 11,567 species were observed.\u00a0 The type of information that they would need was species richness, different regions of the ocean, and major impacts that could affect the biodiversity of certain areas.\u00a0 This information would be observational and records of acts and behaviors.\u00a0 The researchers used spatial modeling \u00a0and observational patterns.\u00a0 They got a lot of their data from the Census of Marine Life that was in the Ocean Biogeographic Information System. \u00a0There are several figures that display the patterns of species richness according to individual taxa.\u00a0 The researchers used qualitative and quantitative analysis with their findings.\u00a0 They modelled relationships between species richness and environmental predictors.\u00a0 The other figured displayed species richness compared to human impact.\u00a0 All of these figures were easy to read and understand.\u00a0 I find their research extremely well thought out.\u00a0 They had to analysis vast amounts of space and species.\u00a0 This would be difficult and take a large amount of time.\u00a0 I want to use the Ocean Biogeographic Information System for my research project as well.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
