Glad to share our work in Current Biology comparing the fossil record & molecular phylogeny for Mammalia over last 100-million yrs. Phylogeny misses extinctions 66-56 Mya, but is remarkably reliable from 10M to present-day PDF: authors.elsevier.com/a/1dUcI3QW8Rwp… doi.org/10.1016/j.cub.… 1/

Yale researchers highlight gaps and opportunities in closing biodiversity information gaps and introduce an indicator informing UN Biodiversity #COP15, showcasing role of Map of Life, GBIF @biodiversity.social/@gbif, and GEO BON: doi.org/10.1371/journa…, mol.org/indicators/cov…

As the #post2020 global biodiversity framework is finalized, biodiversity conservation outcomes must be at the centre of area-based conservation strategies. Hot off the press by GEO BON members. tinyurl.com/2p8r653t

Include biodiversity representation indicators in area-based post-2020 conservation targets rdcu.be/cDcj2 Recent advances have enabled indicators that report on biodiversity outcomes, account for uneven biodiversity between countries and provide direct planning support.

We are deeply saddened to share the passing of E.O. Wilson, preeminent scientist, naturalist, author of #halfearth at 92. "His gift was a deep belief in people and our shared human resolve to save the natural world" - Paula Ehrlich ow.ly/ZQXG50HjgyT #eowilson #extinction
