Completeness of taxonomic inventories by marine habitat. Completeness of taxonomic inventories was determined at a 3° resolution for species residing in different marine habitats. Species-specific habitat associations were obtained from Froese & Pauly (2006). They were as follows: (a) pelagic, (b) demersal, (c) reef associated, (d) benthopelagic, (e) bathypelagic and (f) bathydemersal (details of each of the habitats can be found in Froese & Pauly (2006)). For a spatial reference of where the different habitats may occur (i.e. all delimited cells), we selected all the cells where at least one species with a particular habitat association has been described.
