摘要: In many regions of the world, biodiversity surveys are not routinely conducted prior to activities that lead land conversion, such as development projects. Here we use top-down methods based on global range maps and bottom-up macroecological scaling laws illuminate otherwise hidden impacts three large hydroelectric dams in state Sarawak northern Borneo. Our retrospective impact assessment finds reservoirs inundate habitat for 331 species birds (3 million individuals) 164 mammals (110 individuals). A minimum 2100 trees (900 17 700 arthropods (34 billion estimated be affected by dams. No extinctions bird, mammal, or tree expected due loss following reservoir inundation, while 4–7 arthropod predicted. These applicable any data-limited system undergoing land-use change.
