The paper assesses global threat patterns for terrestrial biodiversity, finding that human development and income inequality are the strongest predictors of threat probabilities across different taxa and regions.

The paper identifies global vertebrate conservation hotspots using data from 33,604 terrestrial vertebrate species, finding 13% of Earth's surface qualifies as priority areas.

This study uses palaeogenomes to reassess dingo ancestry, revealing consistent genetic admixture patterns and population structure over two millennia.

This study reconstructs a time-calibrated hummingbird phylogeny, finding stepwise diversification in the Andes rather than a monophyletic Andean clade.

The paper assesses whether protected areas effectively track biodiversity threats by analyzing PA coverage against threat probabilities for multiple species groups.

This study calculates the probability of seven biodiversity threats affecting reptiles globally and regionally, finding climate change and invasive species have the highest global impact, while regional analyses show varying threats dominate.

This paper analyzes ancient genomes from northeastern Siberia to reveal complex population migrations and admixture events over the past 40,000 years.

The paper tests the diversification rate hypothesis by estimating its explanatory power for spatial patterns of species richness in suboscine birds across South America.
