Plankton diversity is a pivotal element of marine ecosystem stability and functioning. A major obstacle in the assessment of diversity is the lack of consistency between patterns assessed by molecular and morphological data. This work aims to reconcile the two in a single richness measure, to investigate the environmental drivers affecting this measure, and finally to predict its spatio‐temporal patterns.

海洋硅藻丰富度的大规模模式：海洋变化中的驱动因素和趋势

浮游生物的多样性是海洋生态系统稳定性和功能的关键要素。评估多样性的主要障碍是分子和形态学数据评估的模式之间缺乏一致性。这项工作的目的是在单一的丰度度量中调和两者，以调查影响该度量的环境驱动因素，并最终预测其时空格局。
