Global trends in biodiversity and ecosystem services from 1900 to 2050

The paper assesses historical and future trends in biodiversity and ecosystem services from 1900 to 2050, finding that biodiversity and regulating services have decreased while provisioning services increased, with climate change expected to worsen future losses.

A synthesis on alien mammals threatened in their native range

The paper assesses threatened alien mammals, identifies their conservation status, and evaluates the impact of including them in extinction risk assessments.

An automated approach for systematic detection of Key Biodiversity Areas

This study develops an automated method to detect Key Biodiversity Areas (KBAs) for reptiles and amphibians in Italy, identifying potential KBAs covering 1.4% to 12% of the study area.

Area of Habitat maps for the world's terrestrial birds and mammals

The paper creates high-resolution Area of Habitat maps for 16,132 terrestrial bird and mammal species, showing habitat availability within their ranges and producing global species richness maps.

A validation standard for Area of Habitat maps for terrestrial birds and mammals

The paper develops a two-step validation protocol for Area of Habitat maps, finding that 95.9% of bird and 95.0% of mammal maps perform better than random.

A habitat class to land cover translation model for mapping Area of Habitat of terrestrial vertebrates

This paper develops a data-driven model to translate IUCN habitat classes to land-cover classes for mapping Area of Habitat of terrestrial vertebrates, showing it performs equally well to expert knowledge with greater standardization.

Invasive alien mammals of European Union concern

This study reviews the ecology of invasive alien mammals in the European Union, finding that most species were introduced as pets and are expanding their ranges, with significant impacts on biodiversity and human health.

Drivers of change in the realised climatic niche of terrestrial mammal species

This study examines how human activities, climate change, and life history traits influence niche change in 589 terrestrial mammals, finding that climatic factors are the strongest drivers of niche shrinkage.

How many bird and mammal extinctions has recent conservation action prevented?

The paper estimates that conservation actions prevented 21-32 bird and 7-16 mammal extinctions between 1993-2020, and 9-18 bird and 2-7 mammal extinctions between 2010-2020.
