Habitat Loss and Extinction in the Hotspots of Biodiversity (2002, background): “The degree to which we can effectively conserve these will determine the height of the breaking wave of the sixth extinction (Pimm & Raven 2000).”
AVIAN EXTINCTIONS FROM TROPICAL AND SUBTROPICAL FORESTS (2004, background): “Habitat destruction is considered a major cause of species losses (e.g., Tilman et al. 1994, Pimm & Raven 2000, Gaston et al. 2003).”
The influence of landscape structure on occurrence, abundance and genetic diversity of the common frog, Rana temporaria (2005, background): “Also, the fact that many amphibian species, including the common frog, R. temporaria, migrate between the aquatic breeding and terrestrial foraging habitats makes them especially susceptible to land conversion (Pope et al., 2000).”
GLOBAL MARINE BIODIVERSITY TRENDS (2006, methodology): “Statistical methods can be used to make estimates of loss rates, much as they have been used for tropical rainforests (74).”
A metapopulation perspective for salmon and other anadromous fish (2007, background): “As habitat loss, degradation and fragmentation are among the most serious threats to biodiversity (Wilcove et al. 1998; Pimm and Raven 2000), the metapopulation concept has been embraced in conservation biology and management (Hanski and Simberloff 1997).”
Integrating Habitat Status, Human Population Pressure, and Protection Status into Biodiversity Conservation Priority Setting (2005, background): “Some researchers estimate that the clearing of half the world’s remaining forests would eliminate 85% of all the species they contain (Wilcove et al. 1998; Pimm & Raven 2000).”
Arthropod Morphospecies versus Taxonomic Species: a Case Study with Araneae, Coleoptera, and Lepidoptera (2002, background): “Human activities are causing a major decline in biodiversity, especially through habitat destruction (World Conservation Union 1987; Lovejoy 1997; Pimm & Raven 2000).”
Worldwide decline of the entomofauna: A review of its drivers (2019, background): “Biodiversity loss has become a major global issue, and the current rates of species decline – which could progress into extinction – are unprecedented (Barnosky et al., 2011; Pimm and Raven, 2000).”
Inferring habitat-suitability areas with ecological modelling techniques and GIS: A contribution to assess the conservation status of Vipera latastei (2006, background): “Estimates predict an extinction rate of about 18% of animal and vegetal species during the next 100 years, in the 25 major worldwide biodiversity hotspots, even assuming their immediate protection (Pimm and Raven, 2000).”
Rethinking species' ability to cope with rapid climate change (2011, background): “In fact, habitat destruction and fragmentation, not climate r 2011 Blackwell Publishing Ltd, Global Change Biology, 17, 2987–2990 change per se, are usually identified as the most severe threat to biodiversity (Pimm & Raven, 2000; Stuart et al., 2004; Schipper et al., 2008).”
