Journal ArticleDOI
How Many Species Are There on Earth and in the Ocean
Camilo Mora,Camilo Mora,Derek P. Tittensor,Derek P. Tittensor,Derek P. Tittensor,Sina M. Adl,Alastair G. B. Simpson,Boris Worm +7 more
TL;DR: It is shown that the higher taxonomic classification of species follows a consistent and predictable pattern from which the total number of species in a taxonomic group can be estimated, and when applied to all domains of life, it predicts ∼8.7 million eukaryotic species globally.
Journal ArticleDOI
Global patterns and predictors of marine biodiversity across taxa
Derek P. Tittensor,Camilo Mora,Walter Jetz,Heike K. Lotze,Daniel Ricard,Edward Vanden Berghe,Boris Worm +6 more
TL;DR: Two major patterns emerged: coastal species showed maximum diversity in the Western Pacific, whereas oceanic groups consistently peaked across broad mid-latitudinal bands in all oceans, and changes in ocean temperature, in conjunction with other human impacts, may ultimately rearrange the global distribution of life in the ocean.
Journal ArticleDOI
The broad footprint of climate change from genes to biomes to people
Brett R. Scheffers,Luc De Meester,Tom C. L. Bridge,Tom C. L. Bridge,Ary A. Hoffmann,John M. Pandolfi,Richard T. Corlett,Stuart H. M. Butchart,Stuart H. M. Butchart,Paul Pearce-Kelly,Kit M. Kovacs,David Dudgeon,Michela Pacifici,Carlo Rondinini,Wendy Foden,Tara G. Martin,Camilo Mora,David Bickford,James E. M. Watson,James E. M. Watson +19 more
TL;DR: The full range and scale of climate change effects on global biodiversity that have been observed in natural systems are described, and a set of core ecological processes that underpin ecosystem functioning and support services to people are identified.
Journal ArticleDOI
Global risk of deadly heat
Camilo Mora,B. Dousset,Iain R. Caldwell,Farrah E. Powell,Rollan C. Geronimo,Coral R. Bielecki,Chelsie W. W. Counsell,Bonnie S. Dietrich,Emily T. Johnston,Leo V. Louis,Matthew P. Lucas,Marie M. McKenzie,Alessandra G. Shea,Han Tseng,Thomas W. Giambelluca,Lisa R. Leon,Ed Hawkins,Clay Trauernicht +17 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors conducted a global analysis of documented lethal heat events to identify the climatic conditions associated with human death and then quantified the current and projected occurrence of such deadly conditions worldwide.
Journal ArticleDOI
The projected timing of climate departure from recent variability
Camilo Mora,Abby G. Frazier,Ryan J. Longman,Rachel Dacks,Maya M. Walton,Eric J. Tong,Joseph J. Sanchez,Lauren R. Kaiser,Yuko O. Stender,James M. Anderson,Christine M. Ambrosino,Iria Fernandez-Silva,Louise M. Giuseffi,Thomas W. Giambelluca +13 more
TL;DR: A new index of the year when the projected mean climate of a given location moves to a state continuously outside the bounds of historical variability under alternative greenhouse gas emissions scenarios is presented.
