Hunting is a major driver of biodiversity loss, but a systematic large-scale estimate of hunting-
induced defaunation is lacking. We synthesized 176 studies to quantify hunting-induced …

Extinction rates in the Anthropocene are three orders of magnitude higher than background
and disproportionately occur in the tropics, home of half the world's species. Despite global …

While there are well established early warning systems for a number of natural phenomena
(eg earthquakes, catastrophic fires, tsunamis), we do not have an early warning system for …

The bush-meat poaching crisis is a significant threat to biodiversity in tropical forest and
savannah biomes, however its impacts on wild animal populations are often difficult to …

In the context of Borneo's drastic landscape fragmentation, we assessed the role of diverse
forest and land uses—swidden agriculture, mixed garden, smallholder rubber and oil palm …

Determining correlates of density for large carnivores is important to understand their
ecological requirements and develop conservation strategies. Of several earlier density …

Numerous protected areas (PA s) have been created worldwide to safeguard wildlife and
other natural resources from anthropogenic threats such as habitat destruction and …

With biodiversity facing unparalleled threats from anthropogenic disturbance, knowledge on
the occurrences of species and communities provides for an effective and fast approach to …

Unsustainable hunting of wildlife is one of the greatest threats to diverse and healthy forests,
yet our understanding of hunting activity is limited by our methods of accurately identifying its …

The understanding of global diversity patterns has benefitted from a focus on functional traits
and how they relate to variation in environmental conditions among assemblages. Distant …
