Map Information
Key Observations
- • High species richness correlates with productive upwelling zones
- • OMZs are expanding in tropical and subtropical regions
- • Whale migration routes avoid low-oxygen regions
- • Coastal areas show complex oxygen dynamics
Research Implications
- • Habitat compression threatens deep-diving species
- • Climate change is altering historical distribution patterns
- • Conservation efforts must account for oxygen dynamics
- • Monitoring oxygen levels is critical for biodiversity
