Extinction and morphospace occupation: A critical review
Cambridge Prisms: Extinction, 2023 Processes of extinction, especially selectivity, can be studied using the distribution of species in morphospace. Random extinction reduces the number of species but has little effect on the range of morphologies or ecological roles in a fauna or flora ...

Are extinction opinions extinct? [PDF]
PeerJ, 2017 Extinction models vary in the information they require, the simplest considering the rate of certain sightings only. More complicated methods include uncertain sightings and allow for variation in the reliability of uncertain sightings. Generally extinction models require expert opinion, either as a prior belief that a species is extinct, or to ...
