• Mammalian Response to Cenozoic Climatic Change (2009, background): “Considering that generation of novel mammalian species proceeds over much longer time spans than does immediate climatic change, that habitats are quickly being fragmented, and that species invasions are ubiquitous (Dirzo & Raven 2003), present mammalian diversity as we know it is in peril.”

• Toward monitoring global biodiversity (2008, background): “There are approximately 1.75 million known species (Heywood & Watson 1995; Groombridge & Jenkins 2002), and 5–30 million or more that likely exist on the planet (Erwin 1982; May 1992; Dirzo & Raven 2003; Mace et al. 2005).”
