Current and Future Patterns of Global Marine Mammal Biodiversity (original) (raw)
Figure 5
Projected effects of climate change on marine mammal species richness.
Projected changes in overlap of optimal habitat across all species from 1990–1999 to 2040–2049 using the IPCC-A1B climate change scenario (0.5°×0.5° grid cells) A. Loss in number of native species, B. Gain in number of new species. Biodiversity changes are expressed relative to species richness predicted for the 1990s, and assuming a presence threshold of RES>0.6.
