Hotspots of land-use change in global biodiversity hotspots
Resources, Conservation and Recycling, 2021Abstract Land-use conversion from natural areas to agriculture and human settlements is causing global biodiversity loss. We proposed a human land-use disturbance index (LDI) to assess habitat loss and fragmentation in global biodiversity hotspots from 1992 to 2015.

Biodiversity Hotspots in India
2018India is one of the 17 megadiverse countries in the world, and there are four biodiversity hotspots found in India. These are Indo-Burma, Himalaya, Western Ghats-Sri Lanka, and Sundaland. For biological diversity point of view, India is very rich in resources due to its diversified habitat and climatic conditions.

Do biodiversity hotspots match with rodent conservation hotspots?
Biodiversity and Conservation, 2011Biodiversity hotspots are used widely to designate priority regions for conservation efforts. It is unknown, however, whether the current network of hotspots adequately represents globally threatened taxonomic diversity for whole plant and animal groups. We used a mammalian group traditionally neglected in terms of conservation efforts, the rodents, in

Wetland and Biodiversity Hotspot Conservation
2020Wetland conservation is aimed at protecting and preserving areas where water exists (e.g., swamps, marshes, blogs, etc.). These wetlands make up 6% of the Earth's surface. Freshwater wetlands are utilised for cultivation of paddy, for basic water needs, for fishing, as a source of food by habitat loss, one main reason being anthropogenic activities ...

Research in biodiversity hotspots should be free
Trends in Ecology & Evolution, 2010Most species live in the tropics, but most field biologists study temperate ecosystems. For example, just 9.6% of recent papers in the journal Ecology are based on work in tropical countries [1xThe geographical and institutional distribution of ecological research in the tropics.
