Aim In light of the current biodiversity crisis, there is a need to identify and protect species at
greatest risk of extinction. Ecological theory and global‐scale analyses of bird and mammal …

Globally, bycatch in tropical/subtropical shrimp trawl and longline fisheries is threatening
many marine species. Here we examine the joint effects of increased mortality caused by …

In recent years, more than 130 extinctions have been estimated to have occurred in the
marine realm. Here we review this body of evidence and show that this figure may actually …

Between 20 and 24 marine extinctions, ranging from algal to mammal species, have
occurred over the past 500 years. These relatively low numbers question whether the sixth …

We investigated the effects of realistic variation in plant species and functional group
composition, with species occurring at realistic abundances, on ecosystem processes in …

The higher extinction proneness of large bodied vertebrates, both in the past and during the
modern global biodiversity crisis, has a fundamental explanation in allometry: maximal …

Even though Neogene outcrops along the temperate Pacific coast of South America harbor
a rich marine vertebrate fossil record, no studies have examined the diversification patterns …

Our understanding of the dynamics of coral reef fish populations has been shaped by our
ability to quantify their distribution, abundance, and body size across temporal and spatial …

Coral reefs are in a downward trend despite accelerated efforts for their conservation. This is
in much part due to a biased research and conservation focus on the proximal (eg …

No hay duda de que el hombre ha provocado cantidad de extinciones, sobre todo en el
medio terrestre. En el mar, en cambio, comprobar más allá de la duda razonable que el …
