Phylogenetics and biogeographic approaches to the study of extinction: from timetrees to patterns of biotic assemblage

Frontiers in Genetics, 2016
Global climate change and its impact on biodiversity levels have made extinction a relevant topic in biological research. Yet, until recently, extinction has received less attention in macroevolutionary studies than speciation; the reason is the ...

Phylogenetic Patterns of Extinction Risk in the Endemic Flora of a Mediterranean Hotspot as a Guiding Tool for Preemptive Conservation Actions

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2020
Climate change is a major driver of biodiversity decline with pervasive effects in biodiversity hotspots, where many endemic and threatened species thrive. However, the biological drivers of extinction susceptibility remain largely elusive, which hampers

Extinction risk and diversification are linked in a plant biodiversity hotspot. [PDF]

PLoS Biology, 2011
It is widely recognized that we are entering an extinction event on a scale approaching the mass extinctions seen in the fossil record. Present-day rates of extinction are estimated to be several orders of magnitude greater than background rates and are ...

Correlates of extinction risk in Chinese endemic birds

Avian Research, 2019
Background China has a relative high degree of endemism of birds due to its large area, diversified topography, and varied climates and habitats. Among the 77 Chinese endemic birds, 29 species are classified as threatened according to the officially ...
