21 maj 2024 · With nearly one million plant and animal species currently under threat, the ripple effect of the extinction of a single species can affect countless others, disrupting vital ecological...
19 cze 2015 · A growing body of evidence indicates that current species extinction rates are higher than the pre-human background rate (8–15), with hundreds of anthropogenic vertebrate extinctions documented in prehistoric and historic times (16–23).
21 maj 2024 · Accelerating extinction rate triggers domino effect of biodiversity loss. While nearly one million species are currently at risk of extinction, the United Nations University (UNU) is...
8 maj 2019 · Right now, the rate of global species extinctions is tens to hundreds of times faster than the average extinction rate was over the last 10 million years.
22 maj 2022 · The rate of species loss is tens to hundreds of times higher than the average of the past 10 million years — and accelerating. Biodiversity is essential for achieving the Sustainable...
12 cze 2020 · Over the coming decades, some continuing loss of species is inevitable given the current human domination of Earth's systems, so we suggest an ambitious but achievable rate: keeping described species extinctions to well below 20 per year over the next 100 years (see the figure).
1 maj 2015 · We critically need to know how climate change will influence species extinction rates in order to inform international policy decisions about the biological costs of failing to curb climate change and to implement specific conservation strategies to protect the most threatened species.
