Here we provide geographic distribution ranges for 205 species of terrestrial non‐volant mammals in the 1970s. We selected terrestrial non‐volant mammals because they are among the most studied groups, have greater availability […]

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 […]

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 […]
Moreno Di Marco, Carlo Rondinini, Luigi Boitani, Kris A. Murray (2013) Biological Conservation 165: 203-211 Anthropogenic threats drive species to extinction and are the focus of extinction risk analyses and conservation planning. Threats are often quantified through higher level proxies, such as the human footprint (HF). We tested the effects that multiple methods of representing […]

It is estimated that the global yearly expenditure on biodiversity conservation action exceeds one billion U.S. dollars. One of the key tools for prioritizing conservation actions is the International […]
Our recent paper on global mammal extinction risk reduction has just been published! Di Marco, M., M. Cardillo, H.P. Possingham, K.A. Wilson, S.P. Blomberg, L. Boitani and C. Rondinini, 2012.

Global strategies for the conservation of mammals C. Rondinini, A.S.L. Rodrigues & L. Boitani The 5,339 currently extant mammals include many charismatic species and important flagships for conservation efforts. Yet the overall status of the world’s mammals is precarious (with an estimated one-quarter of the species threatened with extinction) and deteriorating. No comprehensive global strategy […]
