Where the article explains it
The same population-level tools — mark-recapture-based abundance and survival estimates, genetic estimates of and diversity, and distribution models tracking range contraction — are the instruments behind the field’s most consequential empirical claims about anthropogenic biodiversity change.
The passage around this formula
The same population-level tools — mark-recapture-based abundance and survival estimates, genetic estimates of and diversity, and distribution models tracking range contraction — are the instruments behind the field’s most consequential empirical claims about anthropogenic biodiversity change. Dirzo and colleagues’ 2014 synthesis in Science compiled vertebrate, invertebrate, and plant population trend…
