We conducted a comprehensive review of the research literature on interactions between
invasive species and species included in the critically endangered category of the …

Australia's biota is species rich, with high rates of endemism. This natural legacy has rapidly
diminished since European colonization. The impacts of invasive species, habitat loss …

Mass extinctions during the past 500 million y rapidly removed branches from the
phylogenetic tree of life and required millions of years for evolution to generate functional …

Abstract Australia's 2019–2020 mega-fires were exacerbated by drought, anthropogenic
climate change and existing land-use management. Here, using a combination of remotely …

Invasive species threaten biodiversity globally, and invasive mammalian predators are
particularly damaging, having contributed to considerable species decline and extinction …

It is theoretically possible to protect large fractions of species in relatively small regions. For
plants, 85% of species occur entirely within just over a third of the Earth's land surface …

Conservation efforts should target the few remaining areas of the world that represent
outstanding examples of ecological integrity and aim to restore ecological integrity to a much …

Recent catastrophic fires in Australia and North America have raised broad‐scale questions
about how the cessation of Indigenous burning practices has impacted fuel accumulation …

Theory regarding the causation of mass extinctions is in need of systematization, which is
the focus of this contribution. Every mass extinction has both an ultimate cause, ie the trigger …

Through collation of global, national and state/territory threatened species lists, we conclude
that 100 Australian endemic species (one protist, 38 vascular plants, ten invertebrates, one …
