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.
30 maj 2014 · Species today are vanishing at a rate a thousand times higher than before humans existed. But burgeoning technology is giving conservationists new hope.
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...
12 cze 2020 · Our proposal for a 2°C-like target for biodiversity based on the rate of global species extinctions attempts to provide a simple, measurable, and easily communicated target against which policy responses can be established and tested.
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.
16 gru 2021 · We demonstrate the use of IUCNN on an empirical dataset of ~14,000 orchid species, for which IUCNN models can predict extinction risk within minutes, while outperforming comparable methods based on species occurrence information.
23 lis 2022 · The ongoing species extinction rates, which reached the 1% level on land and the 0% level in seas from 1800–1900 to 2010 1, 2, 3, are far from the major mass extinction magnitude (> 60%) 4;...
