Journal ArticleDOI

Luke Gibson,Tien Ming Lee,Tien Ming Lee,Lian Pin Koh,Lian Pin Koh,Barry W. Brook,Toby A. Gardner,Jos Barlow,Carlos A. Peres,Corey J. A. Bradshaw,Corey J. A. Bradshaw,William F. Laurance,Thomas E. Lovejoy,Navjot S. Sodhi +13 more
TL;DR: It is found that biodiversity values were substantially lower in degraded forests, but that this varied considerably by geographic region, taxonomic group, ecological metric and disturbance type.
Journal ArticleDOI
A global assessment of endemism and species richness across island and mainland regions
Gerold Kier,Holger Kreft,Tien Ming Lee,Walter Jetz,Pierre L. Ibisch,Christoph Nowicki,Jens Mutke,Wilhelm Barthlott +7 more
TL;DR: This work quantifies geographic patterns of endemism-scaled richness (“endemism richness”) of vascular plants across 90 terrestrial biogeographic regions, including islands, worldwide and evaluates their congruence with terrestrial vertebrates.
Journal ArticleDOI

Tien Ming Lee,Tien Ming Lee,Tien Ming Lee,Ezra M. Markowitz,Ezra M. Markowitz,Ezra M. Markowitz,Peter D. Howe,Peter D. Howe,Chia-Ying Ko,Chia-Ying Ko,Anthony Leiserowitz +10 more
TL;DR: A survey of 119 countries showed that education is the strongest predictor of climate change awareness around the world as mentioned in this paper, which suggests that improving understanding of local impacts is vital for public engagement.
Journal ArticleDOI
The state and conservation of Southeast Asian biodiversity
Navjot S. Sodhi,Mary Rose C. Posa,Tien Ming Lee,David Bickford,Lian Pin Koh,Lian Pin Koh,Barry W. Brook +6 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors highlight the conservation importance of Southeast Asia by comparing its degree of species endemism and endangerment, and its rate of deforestation with other tropical regions (i.e., Meso-America, South America, and Sub-Saharan Africa).
Journal ArticleDOI
Measuring the Meltdown: Drivers of Global Amphibian Extinction and Decline
Navjot S. Sodhi,David Bickford,Arvin C. Diesmos,Arvin C. Diesmos,Tien Ming Lee,Lian Pin Koh,Barry W. Brook,Çağan H. Şekercioğlu,Corey J. A. Bradshaw,Corey J. A. Bradshaw +9 more
TL;DR: Multi-model Bayesian inference reveals that large amphibian species with small geographic range and pronounced seasonality in temperature and precipitation are most likely to be Red-Listed by IUCN and those with restricted ranges should be urgently targeted for conservation.
