TL;DR: A large and rapidly expanding literature bears on these issues, but it is highly fragmented, principally comprises particular case studies, and employs a diverse array of approaches as mentioned in this paper, and the major problems that remain unresolved.

TL;DR: It is shown that cacti are among the most threatened taxonomic groups assessed to date, with 31% of the 1,478 evaluated species threatened, demonstrating the high anthropogenic pressures on biodiversity in arid lands.

TL;DR: Ecological guidelines for improving marine reserve design can be adapted based on an area’s unique evolutionary, oceanic, and ecological characteristics in the Gulf of California, Mexico are reviewed.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors analyzed the effects of environmental variability on the Pacific sardine distribution through the development of the habitat suitability for the Mexican Pacific and used bathymetry, sea surface temperature (SST), sea surface salinity (SSS), and net primary productivity (NPP) to develop an ecological niche model to forecast the suitable habitat of the Pacific Sardine and reproduce the historical patterns for the 2003-2017 period.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors evaluated how well the current protected area network and priority areas selected through previous systematic conservation planning exercises preserve biodiversity hotspots in the Gulf of California, Mexico.
