Gentile Francesco Ficetola, Carlo Rondinini, Anna Bonardi, Daniele Baisero & Emilio Padoa-Schioppa Diversity and Distributions, DOI: 10.1111/ddi.12296 Aim Habitat loss and degradation are the factors threatening the largest number of amphibian species. However, quantitative measures of habitat availability only exist for a small subset of them. We evaluated the relationships between habitat availability, extinction risk and drivers […]
MORENO DI MARCO & LUCA SANTINI Global Change Biology, DOI: 10.1111/gcb.12834 Mean values of geographic range size in terrestrial mammals. Geographic range size is the manifestation of complex interactions between intrinsic species traits and extrinsic environmental conditions. It is also a fundamental ecological attribute of species and a key extinction risk correlate. Past research has primarily […]
Michela Pacifici presenting “Italian hotspots of mammal species vulnerable to climate change” and Luca Santini awarded for the best publication on Hystrix, the Italian Journal of Mammalogy, for the paper “Santini L., Di Marco M., Visconti P., Baisero D., Boitani L., Rondinini C. 2013. Ecological correlates of dispersal distance in terrestrial mammals. Hystrix, the Italian […]

Upcoming conference participation
In May, recent and ongoing research activities of the GMA lab will be presented at three conferences. Carlo Rondinini will make a plenary speech on “Global modelling for mammal conservation” at the 10th Ecology and Behaviour Meeting (12-16 May, Montpellier, FR) and a presentation on “Effectiveness of African protected areas for the conservation of large […]
Check out the recent ISSUE N. 369 of Philosophical Transactions B on Satellite remote sensing for biodiversity research and conservation applications. This issue includes two articles with coordination/participation of GMA lab members. Wegmann, M, Santini L, Leutner B, Safi K, Rocchini D, Bevanda M, Latifi, H, Dech S, Rondinini C. 2014 Role of African protected […]
SANTINI L., DI MARCO M., BOITANI L., MAIORANO L., RONDININI C. Diversity & Distribution DOI: 10.1111/ddi.12198 Gap analysis measures the percentage of protected species distribution and generally compares it to a representation target (i.e. minimum area to be protected). The results are used to identify species that need further protection, providing a quantitative baseline to address […]
M. DI MARCO, L. BOITANI, D. MALLON, M. HOFFMANN, A. IACUCCI, E. MEIJAARD, P. VISCONTI, J. SCHIPPER, C. RONDININI Conservation Biology DOI: 10.1111/cobi.12249 Trend in aggregated conservation status of small-bodied and large-bodied carnivores and ungulates (represented with the IUCN Red List Index, RLI) . Assessing temporal changes in species extinction risk is necessary for […]
VISCONTI, P. M. DI MARCO, J. G. ALVAREZ-ROMERO, S. R. JANUCHOWSKI-HARTLEY, R.L. PRESSEY, R. WEEKS AND C. RONDININI. 2013. Conservation Biology 27, 1000-1010. Data on the location and extent of protected areas, ecosystems, and species’ distributions are essential for determining gaps in biodiversity protection and identifying future conservation priorities. However, these data sets always come […]
