Article Synopsis
- - Many unique species in Madagascar are at risk of extinction, and the potential impact of these extinctions on global evolution has not been thoroughly measured.
- - Researchers compiled a dataset on Madagascar's non-marine mammals to estimate natural rates of extinction, colonization, and how long it would take to restore biodiversity, referred to as "evolutionary return time" (ERT).
- - Findings indicate that if threatened species go extinct, the ERT could dramatically increase to 2.9 million years for bats and 23 million years for non-flying mammals, highlighting the urgent need for conservation efforts to prevent a significant extinction event.
