The Anthropocene is characterized by a widespread biodiversity crisis that is rivaling
prehistoric mass extinctions. Amphibians are the most threatened class of vertebrates. In …

In tropical regions, particularly in Central and South America (CSA), the projections of
climate seasonality under climate change are still uncertain. This is especially true for …

Understanding the spatial and temporal evolution of biota in the tropical Andes is a major
challenge, given the region's topographic complexity and high beta diversity. We used a …

Tropical cloud forests (TCFs) are one of the world's most species-and endemism-rich
terrestrial ecosystems. TCFs are threatened by direct human pressures and climate change …

Estimates of global species diversity have varied widely, primarily based on variation in the
numbers derived from different inventory methods of arthropods and other small …

The rapid land use change in tropical forests is a severe threat to Earth nature's
contributions to people (NCPs) and biodiversity. Effectively conserving ecosystems is a …

Clouds persistently engulf many tropical mountains at elevations cool enough for clouds to
form, creating isolated areas with frequent fog and mist. Under these isolated conditions …

Abstract The Tropical Andes (TA) contain some of the most important and threatened areas
for biodiversity conservation on earth. Despite the proportion of protected areas (PAs) that …

While many plant species are considered threatened under anthropogenic pressure, it
remains uncertain how rapidly we are losing plant species diversity. To fill this gap, we …

Climate change will redistribute the global biodiversity in the Anthropocene. As climates
change, species might move from one place to another, due to local extinctions and …
