Final countdown for biodiversity hotspots

Conservation Letters, 2019
Abstract Most of Earth's biodiversity is found in 36 biodiversity hotspots, yet less than 10% natural intact vegetation remains. We calculated models projecting the future state of most of these hotspots for the year 2050, based on future climatic and agroeconomic pressure. Our models project an increasing demand for agricultural land

Frogs in sight and sound: passive acoustics and visual surveys reveal complementary species detection in tropical rainforest anurans [PDF]

Herpetozoa
Amphibian surveys in remote tropical rainforests are often constrained by rugged terrain, dense vegetation, high logistical demands, and the invasive nature of observer-based methods.

Managing soil biodiversity: The New Zealand experience [PDF]

, 2004
Species diversity is a very important component of a healthy soil ecosystem, and a necessary condition for long-term sustainable development. However, it is widely recognised that soil degradation and species extinction are on the increase in New Zealand,

Using biodiversity indicators to identify priority areas for freshwater conservation in the African “Mediterranean Basin” biodiversity hotspot

, 2022
The conservation of freshwater biodiversity is a global challenge for conservation biologists. The loss of freshwater biodiversity in the Mediterranean basin is particularly concerning given its biodiversity hotspot status and that its landscapes have ...

Microbial communities and functional diversity in seafood

JSFA reports, EarlyView.
Abstract Functional diversity encompasses ecosystem processes that enhance adaptability to environmental change. This study explores the diversity of microorganisms associated with seafood. In this paper, we present our knowledge of microbial diversity in relation to seafood.

Climate change refugia for terrestrial biodiversity [PDF]

, 2013
We are currently facing the likelihood of severe climate change before the close of the century. In the face of such a global driver of species loss, we urgently need to identify refugia that will shelter species from the worst impacts of climate change.

Hotspots within a global biodiversity hotspot - areas of endemism are associated with high mountain ranges

, 2018
Conservation biology aims at identifying areas of rich biodiversity. Currently recognized global biodiversity hotspots are spatially too coarse for conservation management and identification of hotspots at a finer scale is needed.
