[HTML][HTML] A global assessment of current and future biodiversity vulnerability to habitat loss–climate change interactions
DB Segan, KA Murray, JEM Watson - Global Ecology and Conservation, 2016 - Elsevier
Habitat loss is the greatest threat to biodiversity and rapid, human-forced climate change is
likely to exacerbate this. Here we present the first global assessment of current and potential …

Direct and indirect effects of climate change on amphibian populations
As part of an overall decline in biodiversity, populations of many organisms are declining
and species are being lost at unprecedented rates around the world. This includes many …

The southern megalopolis: using the past to predict the future of urban sprawl in the Southeast US
The future health of ecosystems is arguably as dependent on urban sprawl as it is on human-
caused climatic warming. Urban sprawl strongly impacts the urban ecosystems it creates …
