• Sampling biases shape our view of the natural world (2020, background): “Global maps now show the extent of anthropogenic impacts for a range of drivers (Bowler et al. 2020), but the information on what species and habitats are being impacted is highlybiased.”
• The direct drivers of recent global anthropogenic biodiversity loss (2022, unknown): “One obvious source of this context dependency is that all drivers show strong geographic variation in intensity, many even at quite small spatial scales ( 41 ).”
