Global trends of habitat destruction and consequences for parrot conservation
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2020-08-27)
Human advance on natural habitats is a major cause of biodiversity loss. This transformation process represents a profound change in wooded environments, disrupting original communities of flora and fauna. Many species are ...
High proportion of cactus species threatened with extinction
(Springer Nature, 2015-10)
A high proportion of plant species is predicted to be threatened with extinction in the near future. However, the threat status of only a small number has been evaluated compared with key animal groups, rendering the ...
Impacts of mining activities on the potential geographic distribution of eastern Brazil mountaintop endemic species
(2017-07-01)
Mining causes profound impacts on biodiversity. In Brazil, mining pressure is intense, especially in highly biodiverse regions such as the Espinhaço range. We analyzed the direct and indirect effects of mining on the ...
Impulsores antropogénicos y abióticos del aumento del riesgo de extinción de Copiapoa.
(Universidad de Concepción.Facultad de Ciencias Naturales y Oceanográficas, 2023)
La biodiversidad mundial está en peligro debido a la extinción acelerada causada por la destrucción del hábitat, la explotación directa, el cambio climático, la contaminación y la invasión de especies exóticas. Las plantas ...
Dispersal and extrapolation on the accuracy of temporal predictions from distribution models for the Darwin's frog
(Wiley, 2017)
Climate change is a major threat to biodiversity; the development of models that reliably predict its effects on species distributions is a priority for conservation biogeography. Two of the main issues for accurate temporal ...
Pollution, habitat loss, fishing, and climate change as critical threats to penguins
(Wiley, 2015)
Cumulative human impacts across the world's oceans are considerable. We therefore examined a single model taxonomic group, the penguins (Spheniscidae), to explore how marine species and communities might be at risk of ...
