- Title
Are regional effects on local diversity more important in marine than in terrestrial communities?
- Authors
Witman, Jon D.
- Abstract
The article discusses the author's views on the importance of regional processes in shaping local species diversity in marine or terrestial communities. He comments on the reasons cited by Cornell and Harrisonon regarding the different perspectives in governing local species diversity in land or sea. The author proposes an experimental design to test for differences in regional enrichment of local species between marine and terrain systems.
