Biological Correlates of Extinction Risk in Resident Philippine Avifauna [PDF]
Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2021 The majority of the world’s biodiversity occurs in the tropics, but human actions in these regions have precipitated an extinction crisis due to habitat degradation, overexploitation, and climate change.

Neural and physiological correlates of parent-child observational threat extinction [PDF]
Scientific ReportsThe dyadic relationship between a parent and child is a critical facilitator of social learning, particularly in the management of fear. Vicarious extinction, the process of learning by observing a parent extinguish learned threat responses, holds ...

Extinction phenomena: A biologic perspective on how and why psychoanalysis works [PDF]
Frontiers in Psychology, 2011 This article presents the view that much of the success of classical psychoanalysis is centrally predicated on its biological potency; focusing not on neuropsychology, but on the biology of conditioning.

The advantage of being slow: the quasi-neutral contact process [PDF]
, 2017 According to the competitive exclusion principle, in a finite ecosystem, extinction occurs naturally when two or more species compete for the same resources.

A comprehensive quantitative assessment of bird extinction risk in Brazil. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 In an effort to avoid species loss, scientists have focused their efforts on the mechanisms making some species more prone to extinction than others. However, species show different responses to threats given their evolutionary history, behavior, and ...

Geography of current and future global mammal extinction risk. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2017 Identifying which species are at greatest risk, what makes them vulnerable, and where they are distributed are central goals for conservation science. While knowledge of which factors influence extinction risk is increasingly available for some taxonomic

Controlling Pest by Integrated Pest Management: A Dynamical Approach [PDF]
International Journal of Mathematical, Engineering and Management Sciences, 2020 Integrated Pest Management technique is used to formulate a mathematical model by using biological and chemical control impulsively. The uniform boundedness and the existence of pest extinction and nontrivial equilibrium points is discussed.

Human population density and extinction risk in the world's carnivores. [PDF]
PLoS Biology, 2004 Understanding why some species are at high risk of extinction, while others remain relatively safe, is central to the development of a predictive conservation science.

Spatial, Phylogenetic, Environmental and Biological Components of Variation in Extinction Risk: A Case Study Using Banksia. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2016 Comparative analyses of extinction risk routinely apply methods that account for phylogenetic non-independence, but few analyses of extinction risk have addressed the possibility of spatial non-independence.
