Primary forests are irreplaceable for sustaining tropical biodiversity
- Luke Gibson, T. Lee, +8 authors N. Sodhi
- Geography, Medicine
- Nature
- 20 October 2011
Human-driven land-use changes increasingly threaten biodiversity, particularly in tropical forests where both species diversity and human pressures on natural environments are high. The rapid… Expand
A global assessment of endemism and species richness across island and mainland regions
- G. Kier, H. Kreft, +5 authors W. Barthlott
- Biology, Medicine
- Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences
- 9 June 2009
Endemism and species richness are highly relevant to the global prioritization of conservation efforts in which oceanic islands have remained relatively neglected. When compared to mainland areas,… Expand
Predictors of public climate change awareness and risk perception around the world
- T. Lee, Ezra M. Markowitz, P. Howe, Chia-Ying Ko, Anthony Leiserowitz
- Political Science
- 1 November 2015
A survey of 119 countries shows that education is the strongest predictor of climate change awareness around the world. The results suggest that improving understanding of local impacts is vital for… Expand
The state and conservation of Southeast Asian biodiversity
- N. Sodhi, M. C. Posa, T. Lee, D. Bickford, L. P. Koh, B. Brook
- Geography
- Biodiversity and Conservation
- 1 February 2010
Southeast Asia is a region of conservation concern due to heavy losses of its native habitats. In this overview, we highlight the conservation importance of Southeast Asia by comparing its degree of… Expand
Conserving Southeast Asian forest biodiversity in human-modified landscapes
Southeast Asia experiences one of the highest rates of deforestation in the tropics due to agricultural expansion, logging, habitat fragmentation and urbanization, which are expected to result in… Expand
Measuring the Meltdown: Drivers of Global Amphibian Extinction and Decline
- N. Sodhi, D. Bickford, +5 authors C. Bradshaw
- Biology, Medicine
- PloS one
- 20 February 2008
Habitat loss, climate change, over-exploitation, disease and other factors have been hypothesised in the global decline of amphibian biodiversity. However, the relative importance of and synergies… Expand
A meta-analysis of the impact of anthropogenic forest disturbance on Southeast Asia's biotas.
The impacts of tropical deforestation and forest degradation on SE Asia's biotas have been documented, but a quantitative synthesis is currently lacking. We examined the responses of biodiversity to… Expand
Future battlegrounds for conservation under global change
- T. Lee, W. Jetz
- Environmental Science, Medicine
- Proceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological…
- 7 June 2008
Global biodiversity is under significant threat from the combined effects of human-induced climate and land-use change. Covering 12% of the Earth's terrestrial surface, protected areas are crucial… Expand
Effects of habitat disturbance on mixed species bird flocks in a tropical sub-montane rainforest
Abstract Despite their vulnerability to forest disturbances in the Neotropics, the consequences of forest perturbation on mixed species flocks are poorly understood in the threatened Southeast Asian… Expand
Correlates of extinction proneness in tropical angiosperms
- N. Sodhi, L. P. Koh, +8 authors C. Bradshaw
- Biology
- 2008
Rapid losses and degradation of natural habitats in the tropics are driving catastrophic declines and extinctions of native biotas, including angiosperms. Determining the ecological and life-history… Expand
