#HabitatDegradation
🌲 Common #biodiversity metrics may miss key signals of change. By partitioning #betadiversity into species loss and turnover, this study from #Sweden shows how #habitatdegradation drives biotic homogenisation across spatial scales.

“If human activity continues to affect biodiversity as it is today, we project that in the next 100 years, we will lose more than three times the number of bird species as have been lost since 1500”

" ... global actions—such as immediate abatement of all threats across at least ½ of species ranges for ~10,000 bird species—will only prevent ½ of projected species extinctions & functional diversity loss attributable to current & future threats in the next 100 years"
