18 hours ago · Islands are of great conservation concern. Islands cover just 5.3% of the world’s land area, but contribute disproportionately to global biodiversity.
1 day ago · Our analyses of 304,103 plant species reveal that 94,052 species (31%) are native to islands, which constitute 5.3% of the global landmass 4. Of these, 63,280 are island endemic species, which ...
The sea is abundant in flora and fauna—more than 7,000 species are identified as native to the Adriatic, many of them endemic, rare and threatened ones. The Adriatic's shores are populated by more than 3.5 million people; the largest cities are Bari, Venice, Trieste and Split.
Floristic richness of the broader region was estimated (on the basis of SAR extrapolation) on 1807 species for all Croatian islands, and on 2797 species for the entire Mediterranean area in Croatia.
Aug 23, 2024 · Insular diversity ranged from one (minimum inclusion criterion) to 550 native species, with 29 islands (4%) harboring more than 100 native species and 155 islands (20%) harboring only one...

We argue that there are 450,000 species, two thirds of which live in the tropics, a third of all species are at risk of extinction, and they are going extinct 1000 to 10,000 times the background rate. In obtaining these results, we point to the critical role of dedicated taxonomic effort and biodiversity monitoring.
