Assessing patterns of extinction risk amongst mammal species in Nigeria: A comparative analysis of human impact [PDF]
Biodiversity Data JournalThis study aimed to evaluate how biological traits influence extinction risk amongst mammal species in Nigeria and how these traits interact with specific anthropogenic threats, such as agriculture, urbanisation and climate change.

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 ...

Biological Correlates of Extinction Risk in Resident Philippine Avifauna
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.

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

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.

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.

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.

Targets for maintenance of dead wood for biodiversity conservation based on extinction thresholds [PDF]
, 2006 Forestry decreases the amount of dead wood, thereby threatening the persistence of many saproxylic (wood-living) organisms. In this article, we discuss how targets for efforts to maintain and restore dead wood in managed forest landscapes should be ...

Cultural extinction in evolutionary perspective
Evolutionary Human Sciences, 2021 Cultural diversity is disappearing quickly. Whilst a phylogenetic approach makes explicit the continuous extinction of cultures, and the generation of new ones, cultural evolutionary changes such as the rise of agriculture or more recently colonisation ...
