Long-term monitoring of tropical bats for anthropogenic impact assessment: Gauging the statistical power to detect population change (2010, background): “Bats (Chiroptera), currently with 1150 recognized extant species (Schipper et al., 2008), are major contributors to mammalian biodiversity, comprising about 20% of mammalian species globally (Simmons, 2005).”
Using local ecological knowledge to determine status and threats of the Critically Endangered Chinese pangolin (Manis pentadactyla) in Hainan, China (2016, background): “…using rigorous, objective data is particularly important for ecosystems in eastern and southeast Asia, which are experiencing extreme levels of anthropogenic pressure and contain the world’s highest proportion of threatened vertebrate and plant species (Schipper et al., 2008; Sodhi et al., 2010).”
Accounting for uncertainty when mapping species distributions: The need for maps of ignorance (2011, background): “…et al., 1993), which includes comprehensive records in 10 10 km grid cells for such territory; and perhaps the IUCN’sGlobal Mammal Assessment (Schipper et al., 2008; http:// www.iucnredlist.org/initiatives/mammals), which describes the global distribution of all known mammal species at a…”
Global patterns of freshwater species diversity, threat and endemism (2013, background): “This resulted in a data set of 7083 freshwater species in six groups: mammals (n = 490; Schipper et al., 2008), reptiles (n = 57; Böhm et al., 2013), amphibians (n = 4147; Stuart et al., 2004), fishes (n = 630; IUCN, 2012), crabs (n = 1191; Cumberlidge et al., 2009) and crayfish (n = 568; N. I.…”
Current global risks to marine mammals: Taking stock of the threats (2018, methodology): “As a result, high risk areas for marine mammals identified in previous studies were predominantly driven by threat distributions (Schipper et al., 2008; Pompa et al., 2011; Davidson et al., 2012; Albouy et al., 2017) and may be of more limited use from a management perspective which often focuses…”
Status of the world's baleen whales (2016, background): “While there is interest in making species-level comparisons when evaluating global biodiversity trends for terrestrial and marine mammals (Schipper et al. 2008, Kovacs et al. 2012), such comparisons can break down at the subspecies and subpopulation levels.”
The biodiversity of species and their rates of extinction, distribution, and protection (2014, background): “Figures 2 to 5 provide examples for mammals and amphibians (13, 50, 51), flowering plants (43), freshwater fish (52), and marine snails of the genus Conus (28).”
Cross-scale variation in species richness–environment associations (2011, methodology): “Range-maps were based on the IUCN assessment (http:// www.iucnredlist.org/) for mammals (Schipper et al., 2008) and amphibians (Buckley & Jetz, 2008).”
The wildlife snaring crisis: an insidious and pervasive threat to biodiversity in Southeast Asia (2018, background): “In the majority of global conservation metaanalyses conducted, Southeast Asia is identified as a region in crisis: supporting more threatened species, and experiencing higher rates of forest loss, than any comparable continental area (Schipper et al. 2008; Hughes 2017a).”
Rethinking species' ability to cope with rapid climate change (2011, background): “change per se, are usually identified as the most severe threat to biodiversity (Pimm & Raven, 2000; Stuart et al., 2004; Schipper et al., 2008).”
Key factors driving attitudes towards large mammals in conflict with humans (2014, background): “, 1996; IUCN, 2008); are generally more endangered (Inskip and Zimmermann, 2009; IUCN, 2008; Schipper et al., 2008), and are keystone species governing ecological processes (Estes et al.”
Keys to the Bats (Mammalia: Chiroptera) of East Africa (2012, background): “Since 1982, the number of recognized mammal species has grown from 4170 species (Honacki et al., 1982) to 5487 species (Schipper et al., 2008).”
