CONT

The well-established area/species rule dictates that a 10-fold decrease in area of habitat halves the number of species, suggesting that taxonomic losses on the large scale are occurring unnoticed or unrecorded.

OBS

Or, selon une règle bien admise, la perte de 90 % de la superficie d'un habitat se traduit par une réduction de moitié du nombre des espèces, ce qui laisse croire que des pertes taxinomiques à grande échelle se produisent sans qu'on les remarque ni les consigne.
