摘要: Ecologists have long realized that the biodiversity of coral reef species declines dramatically with increasing distance from epicenter diversity in Indo-Australian Pacific. In her Perspective, Knowlton discusses a new analysis by Bellwood and Hughes reveals importance habitat area maintaining diversity, finding underscores need for conservation.
