characterized by considerable change. Fossils allow to estimate the extinction rate of species that were abundant and large enough to have left a fossil trace. Current rates of extinction are discussed in Question 3 [see http://www.greenfacts.org/en/biodiversity/l-3/ 3-extinction-endangered-species.htm#0p0]. The dynamics of changes in natural systems and of human responses are quite different. This is due to the fact that it takes some time for changes in an ecosystem to become apparent, that...

SHARE: | | Biodiversity extinction crisis will disrupt important ecological services warns study mongabay.com October 25, 2006 Loss of biodiversity will have an ecologically-costly impact according to a study published in the journal Nature this week. The new study, headed by a biologist at the University of California, Santa Barbara (UCSB), found that species extinction will reduce nature's ability to maintain ecological balance and "services" such as water filtration, nutrient cycling, and...

SHARE: | | Just how bad is the biodiversity extinction crisis? A debate erupts in the halls of conservation science Rhett A. Butler, mongabay.com February 6, 2007 In recent years, scientists have warned of a looming biodiversity extinction crisis, one that will rival or exceed the five historic mass extinctions that occurred millions of years ago. Unlike these past extinctions, which were variously the result of catastrophic climate change, extraterrestrial collisions, atmospheric poisoning,...

SHARE: | | Global warming may cause biodiversity extinction By Rhett A. Butler, mongabay.com March 21, 2007 Extinction is a hotly debated, but poorly understood topic in science. The same goes for climate change. When scientists try to forecast the impact of global change on future biodiversity levels, the results are contentious, to say the least. While some argue that species have managed to survive worse climate change in the past and that current threats to biodiversity are overstated, many...

SHARE: | | Future biodiversity extinction hotspots identified Rhett A. Butler, mongabay.com March 7, 2006 Scientists have identified 20 potential extinction hotspots where hunting and human-caused habitat destruction are set to suffer significant declines in animal populations in coming years. In developing their map of future extinction hotspots, the researchers analyzed current and predicted IUCN Red List data on the extinction risk to almost 4,000 species of land mammals. Their roster...
