Journal ArticleDOI
Future effects of climate and land-use change on terrestrial vertebrate community diversity under different scenarios.
TL;DR: It is predicted that climate-change effects are likely to become a major pressure on biodiversity in the coming decades, probably matching or exceeding the effects of land-use change by 2070.
Journal ArticleDOI
Comparative phylogeography of African savannah ungulates.
TL;DR: Data from across taxa reveal distinct regional lineages, which reflect the survival and divergence of populations in isolated savannah refugia during the climatic oscillations of the Pleistocene, and suggest a stable, long‐standing savannah refuge in the south.

TL;DR: An r package that provides easy access to large-scale botanical data in the BIEN database by turning user inputs into optimised PostgreSQL functions and developing a protocol for providing customised citations and herbarium acknowledgements for data downloaded through the bien r package.

TL;DR: The degree of fragmentation of the occurrence ranges of ∼10,000 lotic fish species worldwide due to ∼40,000 existing large dams and ∼3,700 additional future large hydropower dams was assessed and current levels of fragmentation were highest in the United States, Europe, South Africa, India, and China.
Journal ArticleDOI
How to protect half of Earth to ensure it protects sufficient biodiversity
TL;DR: It is shown that, despite the bias in establishing large protected areas in wild places to date, numerous small protected areas are in biodiverse places, meaning that there is more progress in protecting high-biodiversity areas than currently appreciated.
