  abstract = {{A}im {T}o investigate biotic and abiotic correlates of reef-fish species richness across multiple spatial scales. {L}ocation {T}ropical reefs around the globe, including 485 sites in 109 sub-provinces spread across 14 biogeographic provinces. {T}ime period {P}resent. {M}ajor taxa studied 2,523 species of reef fish. {M}ethods {W}e compiled a database encompassing 13,050 visual transects. {W}e used hierarchical linear {B}ayesian models to investigate whether fish body size, reef area, isolation, temperature, and anthropogenic impacts correlate with reef-fish species richness at each spatial scale (i.e., sites, sub-provinces, provinces). {R}ichness was estimated using coverage-based rarefaction. {W}e also tested whether species packing (i.e., transect-level species richness/m(2)) is correlated with province-level richness. {R}esults {B}ody size had the strongest effect on species richness across all three spatial scales. {R}eef area and temperature were both positively correlated with richness at all spatial scales. {A}t the site scale only, richness decreased with reef isolation. {S}pecies richness was not correlated with proxies of human impacts. {S}pecies packing was correlated with species richness at the province level following a sub-linear power function. {P}rovince-level differences in species richness were also mirrored by patterns of body size distribution at the site scale. {S}pecies-rich provinces exhibited heterogeneous assemblages of small-bodied species with small range sizes, whereas species-poor provinces encompassed homogeneous assemblages composed by larger species with greater dispersal capacity. {M}ain conclusions {O}ur findings suggest that body size distribution, reef area and temperature are major predictors of species richness and accumulation across scales, consistent with recent theories linking home range to species-area relationships as well as metabolic effects on speciation rates. {B}ased on our results, we hypothesize that in less diverse areas, species are larger and likely more dispersive, leading to larger range sizes and less turnover between sites. {O}ur results indicate that changes in province-level (i.e., regional) richness should leave a tractable fingerprint in local assemblages, and that detailed studies on local-scale assemblage composition may be informative of responses occurring at larger scales.},
