TL;DR: Defaunation is both a pervasive component of the planet’s sixth mass extinction and also a major driver of global ecological change.

TL;DR: The 1992 "World Scientists' Warning to Humanity" as mentioned in this paper warned that humans were on a collision course with the natural world and that fundamental changes were urgently needed to avoid the consequences our present course would bring.

TL;DR: The rate of large herbivore decline suggests that ever-larger swaths of the world will soon lack many of the vital ecological services these animals provide, resulting in enormous ecological and social costs.

TL;DR: Historical and theoretical aspects of frugivory and seed dispersal plant strategies animal strategies conseqences of seed disperseal conservation perspectives are studied.

TL;DR: A novel model proposes a novel approach that relates the diversity of both species and interactions along a gradient of environmental deterioration and explores how the rate of loss of ecological functions, and consequently of ecosystem services, can be accelerated or restrained depending on how the rates of species loss covaries with the rateof interactions loss.
