  • Hambre cero y conservación de la biodiversidad. Desafíos para la conservación de depredadores tope y la ganadería sostenible en Latinoamérica

    Open AccessCristián Bonacic, Skarleth Chinchilla et al.ARTICLENaturaleza y Sociedad Desafíos…2022

    La conservación de la biodiversidad y el desarrollo de la ganadería no han ido de la mano en Latinoamérica. Por un lado, la ganadería tiene como prioridad proveer proteína de origen animal a las comunidades locales; y, por otro, el creciente cambio de uso de suelo de selvas y bosques a tierras de pastoreo da como resultado el aumento de muchos casos de conflicto entre los productores ganaderos y los grandes carnívoros. Históricamente, ambas prior…

  • Underestimating the Challenges of Avoiding a Ghastly Future

    Open AccessCorey J A Bradshaw, P R Ehrlich et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Conservation Science2021

    We report three major and confronting environmental issues that have received little attention and require urgent action. First, we review the evidence that future environmental conditions will be far more dangerous than currently believed. The scale of the threats to the biosphere and all its lifeforms—including humanity—is in fact so great that it is difficult to grasp for even well-informed experts. Second, we ask what political or economic sy…

  • Biological annihilation via the ongoing sixth mass extinction signaled by vertebrate population losses and declines

    Open AccessGerardo Ceballos, P R Ehrlich et al.ARTICLEProceedings of the National…2017

    Significance The strong focus on species extinctions, a critical aspect of the contemporary pulse of biological extinction, leads to a common misimpression that Earth’s biota is not immediately threatened, just slowly entering an episode of major biodiversity loss. This view overlooks the current trends of population declines and extinctions. Using a sample of 27,600 terrestrial vertebrate species, and a more detailed analysis of 177 mammal speci…

  • Accelerated modern human–induced species losses: Entering the sixth mass extinction

    Open AccessGerardo Ceballos, P R Ehrlich et al.ARTICLEScience Advances2015

    Humans are causing a massive animal extinction without precedent in 65 million years.

  • Defaunation in the Anthropocene

    Open AccessRodolfo Dirzo, Hillary S Young et al.ARTICLEScience2014

    We live amid a global wave of anthropogenically driven biodiversity loss: species and population extirpations and, critically, declines in local species abundance. Particularly, human impacts on animal biodiversity are an under-recognized form of global environmental change. Among terrestrial vertebrates, 322 species have become extinct since 1500, and populations of the remaining species show 25% average decline in abundance. Invertebrate patter…

  • Effects of Pleistocene environmental changes on the distribution and community structure of the mammalian fauna of Mexico

    Open AccessGerardo Ceballos, Joaquin Arroyo-Cabrales et al.ARTICLEQuaternary Research2010

    Biological communities in Mexico experienced profound changes in species composition and structure as a consequence of the environmental fluctuations during the Pleistocene. Based on the recent and fossil Mexican mammal checklists, we determine the distribution, composition, diversity, and community structure of late Pleistocene mammalian faunas, and analyze extinction patterns and response of individual species to environmental changes. We concl…
