[HTML][HTML] Scientists' warning–The outstanding biodiversity of islands is in peril
Abstract Despite islands contributing only 6.7% of land surface area, they harbor~ 20% of
the Earth's biodiversity, but unfortunately also~ 50% of the threatened species and 75% of …

Balancing biodiversity in a changing environment: extinction debt, immigration credit and species turnover
ST Jackson, DF Sax - Trends in ecology & evolution, 2010 - cell.com
Here, we outline a conceptual framework for biodiversity dynamics following environmental
change. The model incorporates lags in extinction and immigration, which lead to extinction …
