Body size, lifespan and mobility can help predict which species are most threatened as planet changes
How can we predict species' responses to always-arising changes in our world? A long-term ecological study from Yokohama National University researchers suggests the answer may lie in a few small simple biological traits. Their findings offer a framework for better anticipating biodiversity change and improving proactive conservation strategies. The results were published in Nature Communications on March 14.
