摘要
The pattern of species diversity in seaweed floras on a global scale is presented. There is no evidence of a peak in species numbers in tropical latitudes, as is the case with almost all other groups of organisms; poor and rich seaweed floras occur throughout temperate and tropical regions. A selection of hypotheses which may explain these unusual patterns are discussed.
