The evolution of a tropical biodiversity hotspot

Science, 2020
Diversity does not drive speciation The role of the environment in the origin of new species has long been debated. Harvey et al. examined the evolutionary history and species diversity of suboscine birds in the tropics (see the Perspective by Morlon ...

Warfare in Biodiversity Hotspots

Conservation Biology, 2009
Abstract:  Conservation efforts are only as sustainable as the social and political context within which they take place. The weakening or collapse of sociopolitical frameworks during wartime can lead to habitat destruction and the erosion of conservation policies, but in some cases, may also confer ecological ...

Biodiversity hotspots

Trends in Ecology & Evolution, 1998
Hotspots of biodiversity-areas particularly rich in species, rare species, threatened species, or some combination of these attributes-are increasingly being delineated to help set priorities for conservation. Only recently have we begun to test key assumptions that determine how useful a hotspot approach can be for conservation planning.

The importance of protected areas for overexploited plants: Evidence from a biodiversity hotspot

, 2020
Overexploitation is a main driver of biodiversity loss globally. Protected areas may have a key role in reducing overexploitation, yet their actual effectiveness in maintaining high-density and viable populations of overexploited species has rarely been ...

Urgent conservation needs in the Sikkim Himalaya biodiversity hotspot

Biodiversity, 2019
Sikkim is the second smallest state in India. It has a human population of approximately 619,000 and covers a mountain-locked area of 7,096 km2. Recognised as a biodiversity ‘Hot Spot’ of global significance, it is situated within the Eastern Himalaya ...

Human population in the biodiversity hotspots

Nature, 2000
Biologists have identified 25 areas, called biodiversity hotspots, that are especially rich in endemic species and particularly threatened by human activities. The human population dynamics of these areas, however, are not well quantified. Here we report estimates of key demographic variables for each hotspot, and for three extensive tropical forest ...

Biogeographic methods identify gymnosperm biodiversity hotspots

Naturwissenschaften, 2001
A remarkable congruence among areas of endemism, panbiogeographic nodes, and refugia in western North America, Japan, south-western China, Tasmania, and New Caledonia indicates that these areas deserve special status for conservation. Here we propose that areas identified by different biogeographic methods are significant candidates for designation as ...

Conservation gaps and priorities in the Tropical Andes biodiversity hotspot: Implications for the expansion of protected areas.

Journal of Environmental Management, 2019
The Tropical Andes (TA) contain some of the most important and threatened areas for biodiversity conservation on earth. Despite the proportion of protected areas (PAs) that currently cover the TA, it is unknown if these areas are adequately protecting ...
