A major obstacle in the assessment of diversity is the lack of consistency between patterns assessed by molecular and morphological data. This work aims to reconcile the two in a single richness measure, to investigate the environmental drivers affecting this measure, and finally to predict its spatio‐temporal patterns.Location and time periodThis is a global scale study, based on data collected within the 2009–2013 interval during the Tara Oce...
