An Update of Wallace’s Zoogeographic Regions of the World

TL;DR: A global map of zoogeographic regions is generated by combining data on the distributions and phylogenetic relationships of 21,037 species of amphibians, birds, and mammals, and it is shown that spatial turnover in the phylogenetic composition of vertebrate assemblages is higher in the Southern than in the Northern Hemisphere.
Journal ArticleDOI

Moving in the Anthropocene : global reductions in terrestrial mammalian movements

Marlee A. Tucker, +135 more

TL;DR: Using a unique GPS-tracking database of 803 individuals across 57 species, it is found that movements of mammals in areas with a comparatively high human footprint were on average one-half to one-third the extent of their movements in area with a low human footprint.

Selectivity in Mammalian Extinction Risk and Threat Types: a New Measure of Phylogenetic Signal Strength in Binary Traits

TL;DR: A new measure for phylogenetic signal of binary traits, D, which simulations show gives robust results with data sets of more than 50 species, even when the proportion of threatened species is low, is concluded that D is likely to be a useful measure of the strength of phylogenetic pattern in many binary traits.
Journal ArticleDOI

Geographical variation in predictors of mammalian extinction risk: big is bad, but only in the tropics

TL;DR: The authors' analyses reveal strong geographical variation in the influence of traits on risk: notably, larger species are at higher risk only in tropical regions, and narrow-ranged and rare species tend to be at high risk in areas of high current human impacts.
