TL;DR: The analysis suggests that the associated costs of monitoring and preventing disease spillover driven by the unprecedented loss and fragmentation of tropical forests and by the burgeoning wildlife trade would be substantially less than the economic and mortality costs of responding to these pathogens once they have emerged.

TL;DR: It is shown that, despite the bias in establishing large protected areas in wild places to date, numerous small protected areas are in biodiverse places, meaning that there is more progress in protecting high-biodiversity areas than currently appreciated.

TL;DR: It is recommended that IUCN Red List assessments document AOH wherever practical, because it can guide conservation, for example, through targeting areas for field surveys, assessing proportions of species' habitat within protected areas, and monitoring habitat loss and fragmentation.

TL;DR: This work identified patterns of species richness, then identified which species are endemic to China, and then which, like the panda, live in forests, and identified the top 5% richest areas as the centers of endemism.

TL;DR: It is found that 43% of species fall below the range threshold where comparable species are deemed threatened, and some 210 bird species belong in a higher-threat category than the current Red List placement, including 189 species that are currently deemed nonthreatened.
