Pervasive human-driven decline of life on Earth points to the need for transformative change
BACKGROUND Human actions have long been known to drive declines in nature, and there
is growing awareness of how globalization means that these drivers increasingly act at a …

Overfishing drives over one-third of all sharks and rays toward a global extinction crisis
The scale and drivers of marine biodiversity loss are being revealed by the International
Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Red List assessment process. We present the first …

Half a century of global decline in oceanic sharks and rays
Overfishing is the primary cause of marine defaunation, yet declines in and increasing
extinction risks of individual species are difficult to measure, particularly for the largest …

Overfishing and habitat loss drive range contraction of iconic marine fishes to near extinction
Extinctions on land are often inferred from sparse sightings over time, but this technique is ill-
suited for wide-ranging species. We develop a space-for-time approach to track the spatial …
