A comprehensive new review paper reveals the staggering loss of biodiversity among island land snails globally. Lead author Robert Cowie of the University of Hawai'i at Mānoa's School of Ocean and Earth Science and Technology (SOEST) and co-authors note that "devastation" is not a hyperbolic term, pointing out that extinction rates on high volcanic islands commonly range from 30% to as high as 80%.
