19 cze 2015 · Using the resulting high background extinction rate provides a stringent test for assessing whether current modern extinction rates indicate that a mass extinction event is under way. Previous estimates of background extinction rates for other taxa are invariably lower than the mammal-derived estimate of 2 E/MSY used here.
23 sie 2017 · There have been at least four other mass extinctions on Earth over the past 500 million years. A mass extinction refers to the die-off of a huge number of species in a relatively short period of time. In the past, mass extinctions have been caused by geological or climatic events, such as the asteroid strike that wiped out the dinosaurs.
23 lis 2022 · Here, I show that the sixth major mass extinction (defined as > 60% species loss) will be avoided, but a minor mass extinction, 20–50% animal species loss (1% now), will occur when humans...
4 sie 2021 · To quantify extinction within each of the 45 time intervals, we use two rate estimators: gap-filler (GF) extinction rate and three-timer (3 T) extinction rate, which are calculated using data...
17 mar 2021 · By studying Earth’s past mass extinction events, we can draw a clearer picture of what the aftermath of human impact on ecosystems will look like. We may also be able to more accurately predict how vulnerable species will recover from the sixth major mass extinction, if at all.
11 sie 2022 · Earth has experienced five mass extinction events over its 4.5 billion-year history. A sixth mass extinction is underway as a result of human-driven climate change.
