Tackling the tide: A rapid assessment protocol to detect terrestrial vertebrates in mangrove forests
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2020 at "Biodiversity and Conservation"
DOI: 10.1007/s10531-020-02001-w
Abstract: Globally, the occurrence of terrestrial vertebrates in mangrove forests is poorly documented, with little empirical data available. This knowledge gap is, at least in part, explained by the challenging survey conditions typically found in these… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/conl.12258
Abstract: Rising rates of extinction create an urgent need to identify the mechanisms and drivers of endangerment. One critical question is whether major phylogenetic lineages are equally at risk to the same threats. We used the… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/jbi.12892
Abstract: Aim Zoogeographical regionalizations have recently seen a revived interest, which has provided new insights into biogeographical patterns. However, few quantitative studies have focused on zoogeographical regions of China. Here, we analyse zoogeographical regions for terrestrial… read more here.

Globally threatened vertebrates on islands with invasive species

DOI: 10.1126/sciadv.1603080
Abstract: We identify the invasive species and biogeographic patterns on islands with 1189 highly threatened vertebrates. Global biodiversity loss is disproportionately rapid on islands, where invasive species are a major driver of extinctions. To inform conservation… read more here.

Environmental heterogeneity explains coarse–scale β–diversity of terrestrial vertebrates in Mexico

DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0210890
Abstract: We explored the hypothesis that high β–diversity of terrestrial vertebrates of Mexico is associated with a high environmental heterogeneity (HEH) and identify the drivers of β–diversity at different spatial scales. We used distribution range maps… read more here.
