Table 1 Spearman’s rank correlation (ρ) coefficients for marine
bivalve diversity contrasted with latitude. Data are for the eastern
coastline of Australia, based either on field collections (“field”) or
on subsets of OBIS (the full dataset containing records after 1980, OBIS
inclusive of observational data, and a subset of OBIS that contains
cells centered on field data). Diversity metrics shown are the
S2/m equation of Alroy (2020), Simpson’s D (D),
Shareholder Quorum Subsampling (SQS) and Fisher’s alpha. Asterisks show
significant values (*p< 0.05,
**p< 0.01).
