Outline of Final Research Achievements

Understanding of potential biodiversity pattern is fundamental to spatial conservation prioritization of coral reef ecosystems that support about one-quarter to one-third of all marine species and associated ecosystem services. To develop marine protected areas network, we focused on biodiversity knowledge shortfalls of Scleractinia coral species. We firstly created the dataset of species geography for stony corals that inhabit tropical and temperate shallow water across the world. Then we revealed macro-scale patterns (e.g. latitudinal and longitudinal diversity gradients) with uncertainty related to species taxonomy and geography. Finally, we identified priority areas for systematic conservation planning and also proposed field survey priorities (e.g. northeastern coast of Australia, the central Coral Triangle, and the coast of Madagascar) to fill diversity knowledge shortfalls for coral reefs.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

生物多様性条約第10回締約国会議で採択された愛知目標には、生物多様性と生態系サービスを保全するため、沿岸・海域の10%を保護区にすることが含まれている。本研究で行った保全生物地理学的なサンゴ礁の保全優先地域の特定および順位付け分析は、実効性のある海洋保護区の空間配置を検討するための有望なアプローチである。実際、本研究の分析から、サンゴ礁の基盤をなすイシサンゴ類の種数ホットスポットが明らかとなり、各種の分布レンジに基づく希少性を考慮した保全優先地域が特定された。これらの結果は、サンゴ礁の保全戦略を遂行するための基盤情報となり環境政策への貢献も大きい。
