Journal ArticleDOI
Accelerated modern human-induced species losses: Entering the sixth mass extinction
Gerardo Ceballos,Paul R. Ehrlich,Anthony D. Barnosky,Andrés García,Robert M. Pringle,Todd M. Palmer +5 more
TL;DR: Estimates of extinction rates reveal an exceptionally rapid loss of biodiversity over the last few centuries, indicating that a sixth mass extinction is already under way and a window of opportunity is rapidly closing.
Journal ArticleDOI
DNA metabarcoding illuminates dietary niche partitioning by African large herbivores
Tyler R. Kartzinel,Patricia Chen,Tyler C. Coverdale,David L. Erickson,W. John Kress,Maria Kuzmina,Daniel I. Rubenstein,Wei Wang,Robert M. Pringle +8 more
TL;DR: DNA metabarcoding was used to quantify diet breadth, composition, and overlap for seven abundant LMH species (six wild, one domestic) in semiarid African savanna, suggesting that LMH diversity may be more tightly linked to plant diversity than is currently recognized.
Journal ArticleDOI
When agendas collide: human welfare and biological conservation
Kai M. A. Chan,Robert M. Pringle,Jai Ranganathan,Carol L. Boggs,Yvonne L. Chan,Paul R. Ehrlich,Peter K. Haff,Nicole E. Heller,Karim Al-Khafaji,Dena P. MacMynowski +9 more
TL;DR: The promise and deficiencies of integrating social, economic, and biological concerns into conservation are reviewed, focusing on research in ecosystem services and efforts in community-based conservation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Worldwide evidence of a unimodal relationship between productivity and plant species richness

TL;DR: In this paper, by using data from coordinated surveys conducted throughout grasslands worldwide and comprising a wide range of site productivities, the authors provide evidence in support of the humped-back model (HBM) pattern at both global and regional extents.
Journal ArticleDOI
Breakdown of an ant-plant mutualism follows the loss of large herbivores from an African savanna.
Todd M. Palmer,Maureen L. Stanton,Truman P. Young,Jacob R. Goheen,Robert M. Pringle,Richard Karban +5 more
TL;DR: The results show that large mammals maintain cooperation within a widespread symbiosis and suggest complex cascading effects of megafaunal extinction.
