was a mass extinction of some three-quarters of the plant and animal species on Earth that occurred over a geologically short period of time approximately 66 million years ago. With the exception of some ectothermic species like the leatherback sea turtle and crocodiles,...
The Cretaceous Extinction is a major event in Earth's history that occurred approximately 66 million years ago, at the end of the Cretaceous Period. This extinction event resulted in the widespread extinction of various plant and animal species, including dinosaurs. The cause of the Cretaceous Exti...

Climate-Related Local Extinctions Are Already Widespread among Plant and Animal Species 来自 NCBI 喜欢 0 阅读量: 159 作者: JJ Wiens 摘要: Current climate change may be a major threat to global biodiversity, but the extent of species loss will depend on the details of how species respond to ...
A major review of the status of global biodiversity recently estimated that more than a million species, including 14% of plant and animal diversity, are threatened with extinction(根据该团队发表在《自然生态与进化》杂志上的报告,灭绝的植物物种总数为571种,是国际自然保护联盟官方名录的四倍。即便如此,...
Given that IPBES’s lower estimate for as-yet unidentified plant and animal species is 8.1 million, what are the influences on species that have not yet been described? If policymakers focus resources on conserving known species, what risks might there be to species in parts of the world--suc...
affect plant and animal life in parts of the region today. The researchers have developed a mathematical model, similar to one used by physicists to calculate the diffusion of heat, to estimate the ability of animals to distribute nutrients. The model is based on the body size of the animal...
"Agrobiodiversity -- the edible plant and animal species that feed each and every one of us -- holds the key to future food security," Ann Tutwiler, director general of Bioversity International. "But we are failing to protect it, and tap into its potential to transform our food system for...
(低估), as less is known about the status of plants in Africa and South America than on other continents. Many of these species may disappear, too. A major review of the status of global biodiversity recently estimated that more than a million species, including 14% of plant and animal ...
Archipelago plant richness. Plant richness relates to the productivity and niche diversity within an archipelago and therefore the support for higher trophic levels such as birds93. Hence, archipelago plant richness relates to the number of bird, and therefore extinct bird, species supported within an...
