The global‐scale decline of animal biodiversity ('defaunation') represents one of the most
alarming consequences of human impacts on the planet. The quantification of this extinction …

Mountains are key features of the Earth's surface and host a substantial proportion of the
world's species. However, the links between the evolution and distribution of biodiversity …

Comprehensive assessments of species' extinction risks have documented the extinction
crisis 1 and underpinned strategies for reducing those risks 2. Global assessments reveal …

The distributions of amphibians, birds and mammals have underpinned global and local
conservation priorities, and have been fundamental to our understanding of the …

We are currently facing the sixth mass extinction of species in the history of life on Earth,
biologists claim—the first one caused by humans. Activists, filmmakers, writers, and artists …

Motivation More than half of Earth's species are contained in a mere 1.4% of its land area,
but the climates of many of these biodiversity hotspots are projected to disappear as a …

Measuring progress toward international biodiversity targets requires robust information on
the conservation status of species, which the International Union for Conservation of Nature …

Agriculture is the leading driver of biodiversity loss. However, its future impact on biodiversity
remains unclear, especially because agricultural intensification is often neglected, and high …

In an era of human activities, global environmental changes, habitat loss and species
extinction, conservation strategies are a crucial step toward minimizing biodiversity loss. For …

Modern attempts to produce biogeographic maps focus on the distribution of species, and
the maps are typically drawn without phylogenetic considerations. Here, we generate a …
