A Global Deal For Nature: Guiding principles, milestones, and targets (2019, neutral): “IUCN range rarity of vertebrate species Rasterized map of hotspots 50% of areas identified on map of hotspots of range rarity protected 100% of areas with hotspots of threatened and small-ranged species protected (92)”
Systems integration for global sustainability (2015, background): “Identifying complementary conservation and management strategies Coupling global energy security policy with climate change and air pollution policies (the air-climate-energy nexus) would decrease oil consumption compared to implementing energy policy alone (46).”
Trans-Amazonian natal homing in giant catfish (2016, methodology): “…et al. 2009; Pouilly et al. 2014; Santos et al. 2015) provide heuristic 163 opportunities for identifying fish geographical origin or reconstructing their migration 164 patterns (Pouilly et al. 2014; Garcez et al. 2015; Hegg, Giarrizzo & Kennedy 2015), at least at 165 the scale of large sub-basins.”
The Sixth Mass Extinction: fact, fiction or speculation? (2022, neutral): “However, within this overarching framework, the beginning of human-caused extinction varies by location (Pimm et al., 2014; Turvey & Crees, 2019).”
Abundance of common species, not species richness, drives delivery of a real-world ecosystem service. (2015, background): “Understanding of the role of biodiversity in maintaining realworld ecosystem services is an important goal given high rates of biodiversity loss (Pimm et al. 2014) and the reliance of much of the world’s population on ecosystem services (Millenium Ecosystem Assessment 2005).”
Plant functional diversity modulates global environmental change effects on grassland productivity (2018, background): “Widespread ongoing changes in biodiversity, both globally (Pereira et al., 2010; Pimm et al., 2014) and locally (Gonzalez et al., 2016; Sax & Gaines, 2003), make it imperative to consider biodiversity- mediated global change effects (Díaz et al., 2007).”
Protected areas and spatial conservation priorities for endemic vertebrates of the Gran Chaco, one of the most threatened ecoregions of the world (2016, background): “Moreover, habitat loss is the main cause of population and species extinction (Green et al., 2005; Pimm et al., 2014) and leads to great negative impacts for terrestrial vertebrates (Jenkins et al., 2013).”
Plant Species Identification Using Computer Vision Techniques: A Systematic Literature Review (2017, background): “Biodiversity is declining steadily throughout the world [113].”
Ecology in an anthropogenic biosphere (2015, background): “Human societies have caused widespread species extinctions (Barnosky 2008, Dirzo et al. 2014, Pimm et al. 2014) and species invasions (Vitousek et al. 1997a, Ricciardi 2007, Lockwood et al. 2013), and changes in the local and global patterns of net primary production (Vitousek et al. 1986,…”
Atlas of Brazilian Snakes: Verified Point-Locality Maps to Mitigate the Wallacean Shortfall in a Megadiverse Snake Fauna (2019, background): “High quality distribution maps are even more relevant in times of rampant habitat loss, climate change, and unprecedented biodiversity crisis (Duputié et al., 2014; Pimm et al., 2014).”
Vertebrates on the brink as indicators of biological annihilation and the sixth mass extinction (2020, neutral): “So, predictions that one-fifth of all species would be in danger of extinction by midcentury and half or more by the end of the century begin to make sense (9 – 11).”
Species richness change across spatial scales (2019, background): “At the global scale, 10 historical and modern anthropogenic factors have directly and indirectly caused the extinction of 11 many taxa (Barnosky et al. 2011, Pimm et al. 2014, Alroy 2015, McCauley et al. 2015), leading 12 to a decline in global-scale species richness.”
