CAML / SCAR-MarBIN
Biogeographic Synthesis Workshop
Villefranche-sur-Mer 18-21 May 2010
Synthesize the new Southern
Ocean biogeography
Synthesize the new Southern Ocean biogeography
Objectives
-To establish a new biogeographic synthesis for the
Southern Ocean, in particular through a GIS approach
On the basis of new CAML data and SCAR-MarBIN compilation of
recent data, to develop more complete and accurate
biogeographic schemes for the Southern Ocean, useful for
scientific, conservation, monitoring and management purposes.

Biogeographic Synthesis Workshop
Villefranche-sur-Mer 18-21 May 2010
Synthesize the new Southern Ocean biogeography
Objectives
-To analyze and synthesize biogeographic
patterns
- To analyze and synthesize biogeographic
processes
To attempt analyzing and synthesizing the driving factors of spatial
distribution by linking data on species occurrence and richness
(hotspots, etc) to relevant macroecological, environmental and
evolutionary context.

Synthesize the new Southern Ocean biogeography
Objectives
-To elaborate a strategy for the selection of the
“CAML Legacy Sites”
- To prepare the CAML Biogeographic Atlas
of the Southern Ocean

The CAML Biogeographic Atlas of the Southern Ocean
- Synthetic document (paper + digital versions) compiling synthetic maps
and (short) texts on:
- SO environmental setting:
- hydrography: water masses, currents, surface and bottom temperatures,
etc
- sediments
- geomorphology
- etc

The CAML Biogeographic Atlas of the Southern Ocean
- Synthetic document (paper + digital versions) compiling synthetic maps
and (short) texts on:
- Biogeographic patterns :
- distribution patterns at taxon level (benthos, plankton, nekton, top predators?)
- all taxa comparison / integration / synthesis (incl. gap analysis)
- Biogeographic processes
- distribution processes at taxon level
- all taxa comparison / integration / synthesis
-Phylogeographic aspects
- at taxon level
- integration / synthesis
