Ken Angielczyk says: "The focus for studying terrestrial extinction has basically been, 'Can we match up the pattern in the terrestrial realm with what's observed in oceans?' And the answer is, 'Not really,'"

Roger Benson says: "To figure out patterns of extinction based on hundreds of fossils we used a type of math called statistics. When a species disappears it could either have gone extinct, or it could still be out there, waiting to be discovered, but so far undetected,"

Ken Angielczyk says: "The environmental changes that we are causing and the impacts we are having on animal and plant species are getting to the point where the scale is such that there isn't really anything in human history that is comparable," "The fossil record can give us some idea of what massive biodiversity crises are like and how they proceed"

Gene Kritsky said: "We're hoping that people will go out and tell us where cicadas emerge," "Once we approve that photograph, it goes live on our map so people can actually follow the emergence as it happens, day by day"

Douglas McCauley says: “Deep ocean ecosystems are the least resilient ecosystems on the planet,” “It’s a weird place, biologically speaking. The pace of life moves more slowly in the deep ocean than any other place. Species live a long time, and ecosystems take a long time to recover”

Nigel Gibbs said: “Since most of the mangrove on the island are fringing and provide a habitat for juvenile fish, including commercially important species, this can have devastating long-term effect on species diversity and cause long term collapse of a vital fishing industry,”
nowgrenada Tuesday, April 13, 2021 11:59:00 PM CEST
Nigel Gibbs explained: “Loss or destruction to the habitat will remove a critical link in the recruitment and connectivity to adjacent habitats such as seagrass and coral reefs. Further analysis has to be made a priority to increase the baseline data already collected from this research. To guide management practices, like the development of MPAs for conservation. Limited coastal development and education on the importance of this ecosystem,”

Nigel Gibbs said: “With development taking place at a significantly higher rate at the Mt Hartman site. There is cause for concern. Habitat loss could result in a decline in species and the recruitment service that the ecosystem. Continuous development without careful planning may induce a trophic cascade and one species may be lost causing a domino effect in that e ecosystem,” “Based on these findings, careful planning is needed to guide development. Management efforts like EIAs and land use policies must be developed to mitigate against habitat destruction. Existing ecosystem protection acts/laws must be strictly adhered to, improved and enforced”

Allan Stewart says: “one of the very few from tropical forest environments,”
smithsonianmag Tuesday, April 13, 2021 3:28:00 PM CEST
Allan Stewart writes: “As the adoption of ALAN continues to expand into pristine environments that have had no prior experience of artificial illumination, especially in the tropics, there is an urgent need to understand the consequences for whole communities of insects,”
smithsonianmag Tuesday, April 13, 2021 3:28:00 PM CEST
Allan Stewart writes: “Switching to longer wavelength lighting to limit the adverse impacts on the majority of insects in that setting could have the unfortunate side effect of attracting these bioluminescent groups,”

Martin Gilbert said: “Understanding how tigers are catching distemper is absolutely crucial to helping us design effective measures to minimize the conservation impact of the virus,” “Vaccinating tigers is hard to do, but our research shows that immunizing just two tigers within a small population each year can reduce the risk that CDV will cause extinction by almost seventy-five percent. At least in the Russian Far East, vaccinating local domestic dogs would not be an effective strategy to protect tigers”
