Final countdown for biodiversity hotspots

Conservation Letters, 2019
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 ...

Plant Endemism Centres and Biodiversity Hotspots in Greece. [PDF]

Biology (Basel), 2021
Biodiversity hotspots (BH) cover a small fraction of the Earth’s surface, yet host numerous endemics. Human-induced biodiversity loss has been increasing worldwide, despite attempts to halt the extinction crisis. There is thus an urgent need to efficiently allocate the available conservation funds in an optimised conservation prioritization scheme ...

The evolution of a tropical biodiversity hotspot [PDF]

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).

Toward Unifying Global Hotspots of Wild and Domesticated Biodiversity

Plants, 2020
Global biodiversity hotspots are areas containing high levels of species richness, endemism and threat. Similarly, regions of agriculturally relevant diversity have been identified where many domesticated plants and animals originated, and co-occurred ...

Hotspots of Cenozoic Tropical Marine Biodiversity [PDF]

, 2022
Hotspots of tropical marine biodiversity are areas that harbour disproportionately large numbers of species compared to surrounding regions. The richness and location of these hotspots have changed throughout the Cenozoic. Here, we review the global dynamics of Cenozoic tropical marine biodiversity hotspots, including the four major hotspots of the ...

Sample event data on ground beetles (Coleoptera, Carabidae) collected by Biological Station Wijster (BSW) in the years 1959, 1961, 1963, 1965 and 1966 [PDF]

Biodiversity Data Journal
Historical data on invertebrates are rare and their preservation and FAIR publication are of high importance. Systematically collected historical data can greatly improve the baselines against which trends in biodiversity of these groups are measured ...

A global perspective on the influence of COVID-19 pandemic on forest areas in biodiversity hotspots

Guangxi Zhiwu, 2023
Forests play a crucial role in maintaining biodiversity, and the loss of forest is often associated with regional biodiversity decline or loss. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the influence of COVID-19 pandemic on global biodiversity using ...
