Journal ArticleDOI
Biological correlates of extinction risk in bats.
TL;DR: It is probable that the amount of phylogenetic diversity lost if currently threatened taxa disappear may be greater than in other clades with numerically more threatened species because closely related species have more similar levels of threat than would be expected if extinction risk were random.
Journal ArticleDOI
A phylogenetic supertree of the bats (Mammalia: Chiroptera).
TL;DR: The first estimate of the phylogenetic relationships among all 916 extant and nine recently extinct species of bats (Mammalia: Chiroptera), a group that accounts for almost one‐quarter of extant mammalian diversity, is presented.
Journal ArticleDOI
Comparative ecology of the native and alien floras of the British Isles
TL;DR: This work attempts to identify life history components that allow successful invasion by analysing the life history variables and ecological requirements of plant species that have successfully invaded the U.K. in recent years.
Journal ArticleDOI
Diversity-dependence brings molecular phylogenies closer to agreement with the fossil record

TL;DR: It is found, by likelihood maximization, that extinction is estimated most precisely if the rate of increase in the number of lineages in the phylogeny saturates towards the present or first decreases and then increases.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used an ensemble of land-use and biodiversity models to assess whether and how humans can reverse the declines in terrestrial biodiversity caused by habitat conversion, which is a major threat to biodiversity.
