Drivers of biodiversity loss in freshwater environments: A bibliometric analysis of the recent literature
(John Wiley & Sons Ltd, 2021-07)
Species are disappearing at a rate comparable with previous mass extinctions. Freshwater environments are being particularly affected, with biodiversity losses occurring much faster in freshwater than in terrestrial or ...
EcoLand: A multiscale niche modelling framework to improve predictions on biodiversity and conservation
(2021-01-01)
Species are disappearing worldwide with increasing rates through the time, especially in the tropics. The human-induced impacts have a pivotal role in the discussion about the cause of these extinctions events. Although ...
Odonata enter the biodiversity crisis debate: The first global assessment of an insect group
(Elsevier, 2009-12)
The status and trends of global biodiversity are often measured with a bias towards datasets limited to terrestrial vertebrates. The first global assessment of an insect order (Odonata) provides new context to the ongoing ...
Positive biodiversity-productivity relationship predominant in global forests
(2016)
The biodiversity-productivity relationship (BPR) is foundational to our understanding of the global extinction crisis and its impacts on ecosystem functioning. Understanding BPR is critical for the accurate valuation and ...
New technologies challenge the future of taxonomy in Orthoptera
(The Orthopterists' Society, 2010-07)
A global imperative for the conservation of biodiversity brings into focus the need for taxonomic research. However, this biodiversity crisis is reflected in a parallel taxonomic crisis. Whereas molecular information is ...
Bioacoustic time capsules: Using acoustic monitoring to document biodiversity
(2019-04-01)
In the current extinction crisis, emerging technologies can support the urgent need to document biodiversity worldwide. Automated acoustic recorders are increasingly being used to remotely monitor species and soundscapes ...
Forest loss and the biodiversity threshold: an evaluation considering species habitat requirements and the use of matrix habitats
(Brasil, 2013)
Habitat loss is the main driver of the current biodiversity crisis, a landscape-scale process that affects the survival of spatially-structured populations. Although it is well-established that species responses to habitat ...
Biodiversity losses and conservation responses in the Anthropocene
(2017-04-21)
Biodiversity is essential to human well-being, but people have been reducing biodiversity throughout human history. Loss of species and degradation of ecosystems are likely to further accelerate in the coming years. Our ...
