The holly blue and red admiral were among the species that did not fare as well, with a fall in numbers for both species compared to 2012.
To see how the current loss of species compared to previous extinctions, Payne and his team analysed a database of 2,497 groups of marine vertebrate and mollusc over the past 500 years, and compared it to the ancient past.
The most successful species were late successional species (compared to pioneers), native species (compared to exotics), shrubs (compared to trees) and broadleaves (compared to conifers).
Irrigation improved survival rate of all evaluated species compared to rainfed conditions.
BCFs were generally higher in free-floating aquatic macrophyte species compared to the submerged species.
The H/O protocol identified 179 species compared to 114 species identified by the RA.
Reproduction rates tend to be higher in invasive aquatic species compared to those in most non-invasive species (e.g. [93]).
In mixed forests, we found some advantages in reproductive performance for both deciduous and evergreen species compared to pure forests.
On the other hand, glufosinate-resistant maize showed more diverse weed species, compared to conventional maize sprayed with atrazine.
NH3 plasma consists of both atomic hydrogen and nitrogen species compared to only nitrogen species in N2 gas plasma.
The deciduos forests were the most diverse and had higer number of exclusives species compared to mixed and evergreen forests.
