The paper assesses global threat patterns for terrestrial biodiversity, finding that human development and income inequality are the strongest predictors of threat probabilities across different taxa and regions.

This study finds that predictors of extinction risk for tropical forest mammals are consistent across spatial scales but vary with temporal extent, highlighting the need to account for time when applying macroecological findings to conservation.

This study evaluates the impact of Amazonian protected areas on reducing deforestation and carbon loss over 40 years, finding they prevented 290,436 km2 of deforestation and 7,300 Mt of CO2 emissions.

The paper identifies global vertebrate conservation hotspots using data from 33,604 terrestrial vertebrate species, finding 13% of Earth's surface qualifies as priority areas.

The paper assesses whether protected areas effectively track biodiversity threats by analyzing PA coverage against threat probabilities for multiple species groups.

This study evaluates global genetic diversity protection by analyzing mitochondrial DNA and protected areas, identifying under-protected regions and their vulnerability to environmental changes.
