Collapse of the world's largest herbivores
Large wild herbivores are crucial to ecosystems and human societies. We highlight the 74
largest terrestrial herbivore species on Earth (body mass≥ 100 kg), the threats they face …

Combining paleo-data and modern exclosure experiments to assess the impact of megafauna extinctions on woody vegetation
Until recently in Earth history, very large herbivores (mammoths, ground sloths, diprotodons,
and many others) occurred in most of the World's terrestrial ecosystems, but the majority …

Landscape-scale benefits of protected areas for tropical biodiversity
Abstract The United Nations recently agreed to major expansions of global protected areas
(PAs) to slow biodiversity declines. However, although reserves often reduce habitat loss …

Widespread habitat for Europe's largest herbivores, but poor connectivity limits recolonization
Aim Several large‐mammal species in Europe have recovered and recolonized parts of their
historical ranges. Knowing where suitable habitat exists, and thus where range expansions …

Ecological marginalization is widespread and increases extinction risk in mammals
JA Britnell, Y Zhu, GIH Kerley… - Proceedings of the …, 2023 - National Acad Sciences
Human land-use results in widespread range change across taxa. Anthropogenic pressures
can result in species' realized niches expanding, shifting, or contracting. Marginalization …

Framing the relationship between people and nature in the context of European conservation
A key controversy in conservation is the framing of the relationship between people and
nature. The extent to which the realms of nature and human culture are viewed as separate …
