Putative conservation units (CUs) and Ramsar sites that contained mangroves (1, Gulf of California and northwestern Mexico; 2, Southeast Pacific; 3, Gulf of Mexico and Caribbean mainland; 4, Florida peninsula; 5, Caribbean islands, northern Brazil, and western Africa; 6, southern Brazil; 7, eastern Africa; 8, Bay of Bengal; 9, South China Sea; 10, Celebes Sea and Java Sea; 11, southern Japan; 12, northwestern Pacific; 13, Australia and New Guinea; 14, southwestern Pacific). The CUs are defined based on the genetic structure presented in 11 phylogeographic studies of the genus Rhizophora (see Supporting Information for the list of references). These putative CUs are not a policy recommendation, but merely a demonstration of conservation prioritization based on comparative phylogeography. Open circles denote Ramsar sites with mangrove forests that are included in a CU and filled circles denote Ramsar sites that lack mangrove genetic data and could not be assigned to a CU.
