Population control methods in stochastic extinction and outbreak scenarios.
PLoS ONE, 2017 Adaptive limiter control (ALC) and adaptive threshold harvesting (ATH) are two related control methods that have been shown to stabilize fluctuating populations.

Impending extinction crisis of the world’s primates: Why primates matter
Science Advances, 2017 Impending extinction of the world’s primates due to human activities; immediate global attention is needed to reverse the trend. Nonhuman primates, our closest biological relatives, play important roles in the livelihoods, cultures, and religions of many

Reduced branching processes with very heavy tails [PDF]
, 2007 The reduced Markov branching process is a stochastic model for the genealogy of an unstructured biological population. Its limit behavior in the critical case is well studied for the Zolotarev-Slack regularity parameter $\alpha\in(0,1]$.

Biological and extrinsic correlates of extinction risk in Chinese lizards
Current Zoology, 2021 Abstract China is a country with one of the most species-rich reptile faunas in the world. However, nearly a quarter of Chinese lizard species assessed by the China Biodiversity Red List are threatened. Nevertheless, to date, no study has explicitly examined the pattern and processes of extinction and threat in Chinese lizards.

Extinction and dawn of the modern world in the Carnian (Late Triassic)
Science Advances, 2020 The roots of modern-style ecosystems go back to the Carnian (ca. 233 Ma), a time of global climate change and extinction. The Carnian Pluvial Episode (Late Triassic) was a time of global environmental changes and possibly substantial coeval volcanism ...

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 ...

Fluctuations in models of biological macroevolution
, 2005 Fluctuations in diversity and extinction sizes are discussed and compared for two different, individual-based models of biological coevolution. Both models display power-law distributions for various quantities of evolutionary interest, such as the ...

Mass Extinctions vs. Uniformitarianism in Biological Evolution [PDF]
, 1997 It is usually believed that Darwin's theory leads to a smooth gradual evolution, so that mass extinctions must be caused by external shocks. However, it has recently been argued that mass extinctions arise from the intrinsic dynamics of Darwinian evolution.

, 2016 . It is commonly accepted that the mass extinction associated with the Cretaceous–Paleogene (K–Pg) boundary (∼ 66 Ma) is related to the environmental effects of a large extraterrestrial impact.

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 ...
