Extinction of threatened vertebrates will lead to idiosyncratic changes in functional diversity across the world

Anthropogenic extinctions are driving functional shifts in biological communities, but these changes might differ considerably among taxa and biogeographic regions. Here the authors show that projected losses of functional diversity among land and freshwater vertebrates are unevenly distributed acro...
