  • Using a global analysis of 6,511 spoken languages with 51 predictor variables spanning aspects of population, documentation, legal recognition, education policy, socioeconomic indicators and environmental features, the authors identify predictors of current and future language endangerment and loss.

  • Constructing and exploring a global database, the authors find that 10% of the world’s languages are endemic to islands (a disproportionately large amount) and island area predicts number of languages. However, languages appear not to conform to all predictions of island biogeography theory.

  • Analysing the extent of occurrence and niche hypervolumes of 55 species of frogs in eastern Australia, the authors show that species impacted by the introduction of the pathogenic amphibian chytrid fungus underwent niche contractions, and that these were in a direction that could inhibit chytrid fungus and/or promote host demographic resilience.

  • Could similar ecological and biogeographic drivers explain the distributions of biological diversity and human cultural diversity? The authors explore ecological correlates of human language diversity, finding strong support for a role of high year-round productivity but less support for landscape features.

  • Were the Late Pleistocene extinctions of large mammals the result of climate change or big-game hunting by humans? Reconstructing the biology of extinct species provides clues to the answer.

  • A massive compliation of molecular data to shows that not only did mammalian evolution have deep roots, but that the extant Orders of mammals did not become established until many millions of years after the dinosaurs had headed for their last round-up. In other words, the great end-Creatceous mass extinction had relatively little effect on mammal evolution.
