A global assessment of the drivers of threatened terrestrial species richness

A global assessment of the drivers of threatened terrestrial species richness

Understanding to what extent geographic patterns in threatened species diversity are driven by environmental features or human activities could aid conservation. Here, Howard et al. investigate broad scale patterns in species richness of threatened vertebrates and test the role of environmental and...
