Figures
Fig. 1: Fucoid literature compared to other marine foundation
species and the global distribution of fucoids. A. Search engine hits
(1 Feb 2024) comparing fucoids to other coastal foundational taxa
‘alone’ (A) and with “AND conservation” (B). Global distribution of
fucoids in GBIF (C, 637,617 georeferenced records, February 28, 2024).
Land records may represent locations of stored specimens whereas coastal
absences partly reflect lack of reporting (e.g., fucoids do occur along
coastlines in Namibia, Angola, northern Chile, and southern Peru). Open
water observations could be rafting of buoyant drift aggregations likeSargassaum fluitans/natans in the Atlantic or Durvillaeaantarctica in the Southern Ocean. True absences may occur around
Antarctica and perhaps the most northern Russia, Greenland and Canada.
