Alteration of natural flow regime is considered a major threat to biodiversity in river floodplain ecosystems.Measurements of quantitative relationships between flow regime change and biodiversity are, however, incomplete and inconclusive. This hampers the assessment...

Future hotspots of mammal loss
Assessing the geography and extent of projected changes in suitable habitat for terrestrial mammals.Current levels of endangerment and historical trends of species and habitats are the main criteria used to direct conservation efforts globally. Estimates of future...
Towards a general relationship between climate change and biodiversity
An example for plant species in Europe. Climate change is one of the main factors that will affect biodiversity in the future and may even cause species extinctions. We suggest a methodology to derive a general relationship between biodiversity change and global...
The impacts of roads and other infrastructure on mammal and bird populations
A global meta-analysis.Biodiversity is being lost at an increased rate as a result of human activities. One of the major threats to biodiversity is infrastructural development. We used meta-analyses to study the effects of infrastructure proximity on mammal and bird...
GLOBIO3: framework to investigate options for reducing global terrestrial biodiversity loss
The GLOBIO3 model has been developed to assess human-induced changes in biodiversity.The GLOBIO3 model has been developed to assess human-induced changes in biodiversity, in the past, present, and future at regional and global scales. The model is built on simple...
