Phylogeny and Conservation

TL;DR: This chapter discusses phylogenetic units and currencies above and below the species level, as well as mechanisms of extinction in birds: phylogeny, ecology and threats, and predicts future speciation.
Journal ArticleDOI

The PREDICTS database: a global database of how local terrestrial biodiversity responds to human impacts

Lawrence N. Hudson, +273 more
TL;DR: A new database of more than 1.6 million samples from 78 countries representing over 28,000 species, collated from existing spatial comparisons of local-scale biodiversity exposed to different intensities and types of anthropogenic pressures, from terrestrial sites around the world is described and assessed.
Journal ArticleDOI

A phylogeny of Cenozoic macroperforate planktonic foraminifera from fossil data.

TL;DR: The phylogeny is developed from a large body of palaeontological work that details the evolutionary relationships and stratigraphic (time) distributions of species‐level taxa identified from morphology (‘morphospecies’).
Journal ArticleDOI

Predicting susceptibility to future declines in the world's frogs

TL;DR: It is found that high-altitude, restricted-range, aquatic species with low fecundity are most likely to suffer Bd-related declines, and areas where many species are predicted to be susceptible are identified.
