A 150-year avian bio-inventory on a global biodiversity hotspot island
Global Ecology and Conservation, 2021 Knowledge of species inventory is crucial for identifying when and where species occur historically and geographically; yet few studies have gathered heterogeneous data from different sources to understand long-term spatio-temporal species dynamics in ...

Final countdown for biodiversity hotspots [PDF]
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

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Effective knowledge of ecological connectivity at sea and at the land–sea interface is key to supporting global policy goals to conserve and restore ocean biodiversity and function. However, a persistent lack of commonality in terminology and understanding around the concept of connectivity in marine ecological studies hampers its integration ...
