Advances of marine biogeography in China:Species distribution model and its applications
Background & Aim:Marine biogeography is a subject investigating the spatiotemporal distributions of marine organisms and the processes and drivers of changes in species distributions.Research in marine biogeography is promising for the conservation of marine biodiversity and the stability of ecosystem functioning and crucial for the sustainability of utilizing marine resources.Species distribution models(SDMs)are an important tool for assessing and predicting the biogeographical changes in marine species distributions.Progresses:This review consists of three main parts:(1)the development process and current status of marine biogeography studies in China;(2)the commonly used approaches to answer the questions related to marine biogeography with a special focus on SDMs;(3)the research trends and hotspots of marine biogeography studies in China,mainly concerning the shifts in species distribution under global changes,phylogeography of marine species,biological invasion,population connectivity,marine conservation planning,marine ecological restoration and recovery,adaptation of marine species to extreme environments,as well as management of marine fisheries and mariculture planning.Prospects:In this review,we further outlined the prospects for the future development of marine biogeography and emphasized the importance of optimizing SDMs.We also called for developing comprehensive databases of marine environments and organisms to strengthen the integration of marine biogeography with other disciplines.We hope this review will provide useful insights for the studies of marine biogeography in China.
