  abstract = {{A}im {L}and use is the most pervasive driver of biodiversity loss. {P}redicting its impact on species richness ({SR}) is often based on indicators of habitat loss. {H}owever, the degradation of habitats, especially through land-use intensification, also affects species. {H}ere, we evaluate whether an integrative metric of land-use intensity, the human appropriation of net primary production, is correlated with the decline of {SR} in used landscapes across the globe. {L}ocation{G}lobal. {T}ime period{P}resent. {M}ajor taxa studied{B}irds, mammals and amphibians. {M}ethods {B}ased on species range maps (spatial resolution: 20 km x 20 km) and an area-of-habitat approach, we calibrated a "species-energy model" by correlating the {SR} of three groups of vertebrates with net primary production and biogeographical covariables in "wilderness" areas (i.e., those where available energy is assumed to be still at pristine levels). {W}e used this model to project the difference between pristine {SR} and the {SR} corresponding to the energy remaining in used landscapes (i.e., {SR} loss expected owing to human energy extraction outside wilderness areas). {W}e validated the projected species loss by comparison with the realized and impending loss reconstructed from habitat conversion and documented by national {R}ed {L}ists. {R}esults {S}pecies-energy models largely explained landscape-scale variation of mapped {SR} in wilderness areas (adjusted {R}-2-values: 0.79-0.93). {M}odel-based projections of {SR} loss were lower, on average, than reconstructed and documented ones, but the spatial patterns were correlated significantly, with stronger correlation in mammals ({P}earson's r = 0.68) than in amphibians (r = 0.60) and birds (r = 0.57). {M}ain conclusions {O}ur results suggest that the human appropriation of net primary production is a useful indicator of heterotrophic species loss in used landscapes, hence we recommend its inclusion in models based on species-area relationships to improve predictions of land-use-driven biodiversity loss.},
