TL;DR: Standardized long-term monitoring, more high-quality empirical studies on different taxa and ecosystems and further development of analytical methods will help to better quantify extinction debt and protect biodiversity.

TL;DR: Present-day species richness of long-lived vascular plant specialists was better explained by past than current landscape patterns, indicating an extinction debt, while short-lived butterfly specialists showed no evidence for an extinction Debt at a time scale of c.

TL;DR: In this paper, a database of 52 480 vegetation plots from three regions of Europe: Catalonia (Mediterranean-submediterranean region), Czech Republic (subcontinental) and Great Britain (oceanic) was used to classify plant species into neophytes, archaeophytes and natives, and calculated the proportion of each group in 33 habitats described by the EUNIS classification.

TL;DR: An allometric perspective is taken and existing data on the relationship between individual vegetative and reproductive biomass within plant populations is reviewed, rather than analysing biomass ratios such as reproductive effort.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used 52,480 vegetation plots from Catalonia (NE Spain), Czech Republic and Great Britain to quantify the levels of invasion by neophytes (alien plant species introduced after ad 1500) in 33 habitat types.
