The paper reconstructs demographic histories of 263 bird species using whole-genome sequences and identifies trait networks influencing population size changes in response to climate warming and cooling.

The paper introduces a mathematical framework to estimate genetic diversity loss due to habitat reduction and shows that over 10% of genetic diversity may already be lost globally.

The paper assesses how past and recent human impacts affect tetrapod diversity using a multifaceted index, showing that historical agricultural expansion has had a significant legacy effect on biodiversity.

This study analyzes climate change velocity and genetic diversity shifts in 16 Holarctic mammal species over the Late Quaternary, finding faster climate change rates in extinct megafauna and reduced genetic diversity in extant large grazers.

This study uses process-explicit models to show humans accelerated woolly mammoth population declines and extinction by interacting with climate change.
