Scientists' warning to humanity on tree extinctions
PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 5, Issue 4, Page 466-482, July 2023., 2023 Trees play vital roles in many of the world's ecosystems while providing many benefits to people. New evidence indicates that a third of tree species are threatened with extinction, representing a tree extinction crisis. Here we demonstrate how tree species extinction will lead to the loss of many other plants and animals and significantly alter the ...

Conservation Biology, Volume 35, Issue 5, Page 1388-1395, October 2021., 2021 Abstract Some conservation prioritization methods are based on the assumption that conservation needs overwhelm current resources and not all species can be conserved; therefore, a conservation triage scheme (i.e., when the system is overwhelmed, species should be divided into three groups based on likelihood of survival, and efforts should be focused ...

Conservation Biology, Volume 35, Issue 5, Page 1519-1529, October 2021., 2021 Abstract Understanding how anthropogenic disturbances affect plant–pollinator systems has important implications for the conservation of biodiversity and ecosystem functioning. Previous laboratory studies show that pesticides and pathogens, which have been implicated in the rapid global decline of pollinators over recent years, can impair behavioral ...

Quantifying progress toward a conservation assessment for all plants
Conservation Biology, Volume 32, Issue 3, Page 516-524, June 2018., 2018 Abstract The Global Strategy for Plant Conservation (GSPC) set an ambitious target to achieve a conservation assessment for all known plant species by 2020. We consolidated digitally available plant conservation assessments and reconciled their scientific names and assessment status to predefined standards to provide a quantitative measure of progress ...

Conservation Biology, Volume 39, Issue 5, October 2025.Abstract Primates, 69% of which are threatened with extinction, are the third most specious order of mammals. We used primates as model taxa to examine the umbrella effects of primates on ecosystem services and the protection of other vertebrates and seed plants in Yunnan Province, China.
