The extended Value-Belief-Norm theory predicts committed action for nature and biodiversity in Europe (2020, background): “The conservation of biodiversity has become pivotal both in the United Nations agenda (UN General Assembly, 2015) and in the European Union political agenda (see EEA, 2015; Tittensor et al., 2014).”
Species richness change across spatial scales (2019, background): “…of international collaborations 6 and policies to understand and manage these changes (e.g., Aichi targets of the United Nations’ 7 Convention on Biodiversity; Intergovernmental Science-Policy Platform on Biodiversity and 8 Ecosystem Services (IPBES); e.g., Tittensor et al. 2014, Diaz et al. 2015).”
No saturation in the accumulation of alien species worldwide (2017, positive): “gov) and (2) CPI of the USA spanning a longer period (1913–2000) provided by the US Bureau of Labor Statistics (available at www.”
Historical legacies accumulate to shape future biodiversity in an era of rapid global change (2015, background): “This is particularly worrisome, as current conservation efforts are already judged to fall far short of curbing biodiversity loss (Butchart et al., 2010; Tittensor et al., 2014), even without considering the effect of lags.”
Biodiversity change is uncoupled from species richness trends: Consequences for conservation and monitoring (2018, background): “number of extinct or endangered species, relative abundance of species compared to pre- human conditions) indeed show a continuous deterioration (Butchart et al., 2010; Tittensor et al., 2014), but the suggested increase in regional species richness reflects complex distributional shifts beyond simp”
Global hydrology 2015: State, trends, and directions (2015, neutral): “Loss of biodiversity due to land use change, climate change, and pollution has been a research topic for many decades, both empirically [ Tittensor et al ., 2014] as by modeling, the latter initially as part of integrated assessment models (e.g., GLOBIO in IMAGE) [ Alkemade et al ., 2009 Analyzer…”
Barriers to globally invasive species are weakening across the Antarctic (2017, background): “Thus, global assessments of pressures on biodiversity, such as those being undertaken for the Convention on Biological Diversity’s Strategic Plan for Biodiversity 2011–2020 (Tittensor et al., 2014), can be directly applied to the region (Chown et al., 2017).”
Ecological and socio-economic factors affecting extinction risk in parrots (2016, background): “The current worldwide decline in biodiversity requires urgent action (Butchart et al. 2010; Pimm et al. 2014; Tittensor et al. 2014), but determining appropriate actions is often impeded by poor understanding of the diverse causes of decline and extinction across different taxa and regions of the…”
Earth observation as a tool for tracking progress towards the Aichi Biodiversity Targets (2015, methodology): “In 2014, a series of 55 indicators that met pre-defined criteria were used in the Global Biodiversity Outlook (GBO4), which presents a mid-term evaluation of progress towards achieving these targets (Tittensor et al. 2014).”
Temporal β diversity—A macroecological perspective (2019, background): “2 The 2019 Intergovernmental Science-Policy Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services (IPBES) Global Biodiversity Assessment (Brondizio, Settele, Díaz, & Ngo, 2019; Pereira et al., 2010; Tittensor et al., 2014) argues that, in many cases, anthropogenic pressures on nature in the second half of”
