Proposed changes to province, ecoregion and Large Marine Ecosystem classifications in the Indo-West Pacific Realm, based on reef-building corals.

Province and ecoregion names and numbers follow the MEOW classification [36] (see caption to fig. 2), while the suggested changes are illustrated in fig. 2b. Findings are labeled by whether they are primary (supported by data from the field or the IUCN Red List (RL), along with statistical analysis) or secondary, inferred from primary findings of this study and listed sources. Both levels of findings pose hypotheses for further research and confirmation.省份与生态区的名称及编号遵循MEOW分类体系[36]（详见图2图注），所提议的修订方案如图2b所示。本研究的发现分为两类：一级发现依托野外实测数据、世界自然保护联盟红色名录（IUCN Red List, RL）数据及统计分析得到支撑；二级发现则基于本研究的一级发现与已列参考文献推导得出。两类发现均为后续研究与验证提供了假说基础。
