Undiscovered bird extinctions obscure the true magnitude of human-driven extinction waves.
Birds are among the best-studied animal groups, but their prehistoric diversity is poorly known due to low fossilization potential. Hence, while many human-driven bird extinctions (i.e., extinctions caused directly by human activities such as hunting, as well as indirectly through human-associated impacts such as land use change, fire, and the... -

Rediscovery of the lost skink Proscelotes aenea and implications for conservation.
Biodiversity loss is recognized as a grand challenge of the twenty-first century but ascertaining when a species is “lost” can be incredibly difficult—since the absence of evidence is not evidence of absence. This may be a relatively easy task for large and conspicuous animals, but extremely difficult for those living...Puruleia, Ali ; Nanvonamuquitxo, Cristóvão ; Ernesto, Milagre ; Jamal, Abdurabe ; Amade, Iassine …

A call for improving the Key Biodiversity Areas framework.
Eight percent of all land surface has been designated as “Key Biodiversity Areas” (KBAs). Since these areas were established based on two percent of all terrestrial species estimated to exist, we ask what would happen if we used all species on Earth to identify additional KBAs. We explore this question... -
