Anthropogenic impacts on threatened species erode functional diversity in chelonians and crocodilians. [PDF]
Nat Commun, 2023 The Anthropocene is tightly associated with a drastic loss of species worldwide and the disappearance of their key ecosystem functions. The orders Testudines (turtles and tortoises) and Crocodilia (crocodiles, alligators, and gharials) contain numerous ...

A threatened species index for Australian birds [PDF]
Conservation Science and Practice, 2020 AbstractQuantifying species population trends is crucial for monitoring progress towards global conservation targets, justifying investments, planning targeted responses and raising awareness about threatened species. Many global indicators are slow in response and report on common species, not on those at greatest risk of extinction. Here we develop a

Half of resources in threatened species conservation plans are allocated to research and monitoring. [PDF]
Nat Commun, 2020 Funds to combat biodiversity loss are insufficient, requiring conservation managers to make trade-offs between costs for actions to avoid further loss and costs for research and monitoring to guide effective actions.

Identifying functionally distinctive and threatened species
Biological Conservation, 2022 AbstractFunctional traits determine species’ responses to environmental change and/or determine species’ effects on ecosystem functions. When species with distinctive functional traits are threatened, there is a risk that ecosystem properties are also threatened.
