Journal ArticleDOI
Confronting a biome crisis: global disparities of habitat loss and protection
TL;DR: The world’s terrestrial biomes and, at a finer spatial scale, ecoregions in which biodiversity and ecological function are at greatest risk because of extensive habitat conversion and limited habitat protection are identified.
Journal ArticleDOI
Domesticated Nature: Shaping Landscapes and Ecosystems for Human Welfare
Peter Kareiva,Sean M. Watts,Sean M. Watts,Sean M. Watts,Robert I. McDonald,Robert I. McDonald,Robert I. McDonald,Timothy M. Boucher,Timothy M. Boucher,Timothy M. Boucher +9 more
TL;DR: Going into the future, scientists can help humanity to domesticate nature more wisely by quantifying the tradeoffs among ecosystem services, such as how increasing the provision of one service may decrease ecosystem resilience and the provisionof other services.
Journal ArticleDOI
Pinpointing and preventing imminent extinctions
Taylor H. Ricketts,Eric Dinerstein,Timothy M. Boucher,Thomas M. Brooks,Stuart H. M. Butchart,Michael R. Hoffmann,John F. Lamoreux,John Morrison,Michael J. Parr,John D. Pilgrim,Ana S. L. Rodrigues,Wes Sechrest,George E. Wallace,Ken Berlin,Jon Bielby,Neil Burgess,Don R. Church,Neil A. Cox,David Knox,Colby Loucks,Gary W. Luck,Lawrence L. Master,Robin D. Moore,Robin Naidoo,Robert S. Ridgely,George E. Schatz,Gavin Shire,Holly E. Strand,Wes Wettengel,Eric Wikramanayake +29 more
TL;DR: This work pinpoints centers of imminent extinction, where highly threatened species are confined to single sites, indicating an expansion of the current extinction episode beyond sensitive species and places toward the planet's most biodiverse mainland regions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Water on an Urban Planet: Urbanization and the Reach of Urban Water Infrastructure
Robert I. McDonald,Katherine F. Weber,J. Padowski,Martina Flörke,Christof Schneider,Pamela A. Green,Tom Gleeson,Stephanie Eckman,Bernhard Lehner,Deborah Balk,Timothy M. Boucher,Günther Grill,Mark R. Montgomery +12 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors conducted the first global survey of the large cities' water sources, and showed that previous global hydrologic models that ignored urban water infrastructure significantly overestimated urban water stress.
Journal ArticleDOI
Protecting Important Sites for Biodiversity Contributes to Meeting Global Conservation Targets

TL;DR: While appropriately located PAs may slow the rate at which species are driven towards extinction, recent PA network expansion has under-represented important sites, and better targeted expansion of PA networks would help to improve biodiversity trends.
