Understanding How Biodiversity Is Distributed in Space and Time
Attention to biodiversity issues has been growing in the recent years. Despite the urgency of the problem, the development of a general theory of biodiversity is still underway. How can we develop such a theory? Two main approaches have dominated the field: the first approach has emphasized ecological controls of biodiversity, and has sought to explain static biodiversity patterns, often referr...

متن کاملRemapping time across space.
Multiple lines of evidence indicate that visual attention's temporal properties differ between the left and right visual fields (LVF and RVF). Notably, recent electroencephalograph recordings indicate that event-related potentials peak earlier for LVF than for RVF targets on bilateral-stream rapid serial visual presentation (RSVP) identification tasks. Might this hastened neural response render...
متن کاملInvasive predators and global biodiversity loss.
Invasive species threaten biodiversity globally, and invasive mammalian predators are particularly damaging, having contributed to considerable species decline and extinction. We provide a global metaanalysis of these impacts and reveal their full extent. Invasive predators are implicated in 87 bird, 45 mammal, and 10 reptile species extinctions-58% of these groups' contemporary extinctions wor...
