Global patterns of freshwater species diversity, threat and endemism (2013, methodology): “The red-listing process has been extensively described in other articles (e.g. Mace et al., 2008; Hoffmann et al., 2010); briefly, an international network of freshwater species specialists were given the task of reviewing species-level data on taxonomy, measures of species distribution, population…”
The projected effects of climatic and vegetation changes on the distribution and diversity of Southeast Asian bats (2012, methodology): “Nevertheless, we used distribution records from over half of the bat species (Table S2 supporting information) found in one of the most biodiverse and threatened regions on the planet (Hoffmann et al., 2010), and sampled bats representative of most foraging styles and food habits.”
Prescriptive Evolution to Conserve and Manage Biodiversity (2014, background): “Although land use change is currently the main driver of species’ declines and extinctions (Hoffmann et al. 2010), the impacts of climate change may well rival this in the near future (Natl. Res.”
Vertebrate community composition and diversity declines along a defaunation gradient radiating from rural villages in Gabon (2017, background): “Overhunting is the major cause of defaunation in many parts of the world (Hoffmann et al. 2010), putting disproportionate pressure on large vertebrates – particularly mammals.”
How many bird and mammal extinctions has recent conservation action prevented? (2020, background): “Species listed as extinct in the wild (IUCN, 2020) were mapped in the last countries where they occurred, or are presumed to have occurred of extinction: a large number of other species would have deteriorated in conservation status in the absence of conservation (Hoffmann et al., 2010; 2015).”
What do we know about armadillos? An analysis of four centuries of knowledge about a group of South American mammals, with emphasis on their conservation (2014, neutral): “The rate of species extinction is increasing, and growing pressures on biodiversity indicate that this trend will not be reversed in the near future (Butchart et al. 2010, Hoffmann et al. 2010).”
Ghosts of the coast: global extinction risk and conservation of sawfishes (2016, methodology): “Emerging knowledge suggests that the timing, patterns, and processes of marine extinction are very different to that on land (Hoffmann et al., 2010; Harnik et al., 2012; McClenachan et al., 2012; Pimm et al., 2014).”
Habitat availability for amphibians and extinction threat: a global analysis (2015, background): “…species for which conservation status has been assessed by the International Union for Nature Conservation (IUCN), 41% are recognized as threatened by extinction, a figure much higher than the one observed in any other animal class (Stuart et al., 2004; Chanson et al., 2008; Hoffmann et al., 2010).”
Conservation status and threats for African reptiles (2016, neutral): “As the true threat status of DD species is uncertain (Böhm et al., 2013; Hoffmann et al., 2010), we divided them into Threatened categories in the same proportions as the EX, CR, EN and VU species: (Propthreat) = (CR + EN + VU) / (N − DD).”
Troubled waters: Threats and extinction risk of the sharks, rays and chimaeras of the Arabian Sea and adjacent waters (2018, background): “Worldwide, 46% of chondrichthyans are DD, one of the highest documented rates of DD of any taxonomic group to date (Dulvy et al., 2014; Hoffmann et al., 2010).”
Ongoing unraveling of a continental fauna: Decline and extinction of Australian mammals since European settlement (2015, background): “history repeating? Glob Ecol Biogeogr 23(2):181–190.”
Fishing groupers towards extinction: a global assessment of threats and extinction risks in a billion dollar fishery (2013, background): “Hoffman et al. (2010) concluded that one-fifth of all vertebrates are at risk of extinction based on the IUCN criteria.”
Invasive Species and Amphibian Conservation (2020, background): “For every ﬁve species of birds and mammals that have deteriorated in conservation status because of IAS, two have improved in status through mitigation efforts (Hoffmann et al. 2010).”
