摘要: The ranges of many tropical marine species overlap in a centre of maximum marine biodiversity, which is located in the Indo-Malayan region. Because this centre includes Malaysia, the Philippines, Indonesia, and Papua New Guinea, it has been named the East Indies Triangle. Due to its dependence on the presence of coral reefs, it has recently been referred to as the Coral Triangle. Because these reefs are severely threatened by human activities, large-scale nature conservation efforts involve the establishment of a network of …
