Accelerated modern human-induced species losses: Entering the sixth mass extinction

TL;DR: Estimates of extinction rates reveal an exceptionally rapid loss of biodiversity over the last few centuries, indicating that a sixth mass extinction is already under way and a window of opportunity is rapidly closing.
Journal ArticleDOI

Monika Böhm, +243 more
TL;DR: The results provide the first analysis of the global conservation status and distribution patterns of reptiles and the threats affecting them, highlighting conservation priorities and knowledge gaps which need to be addressed urgently to ensure the continued survival of the world’s reptiles.
Journal ArticleDOI

Climate-driven declines in arthropod abundance restructure a rainforest food web.
