The pharmacology of extinction

Journal of Ethnopharmacology, 1992
It is impossible to predict what compounds of pharmacological interest may be present in an unexamined species. The extinction of such species may result, therefore, in the loss of therapeutically significant compounds. The fact that science will never know what has been lost does not lessen the significance of the loss.

Extinction Debt at Extinction Threshold

Conservation Biology, 2002
Abstract: To allow for long‐term metapopulation persistence, a network of habitat fragments must satisfy a certain condition in terms of number, size, and spatial configuration of the fragments. The influence of landscape structure on the threshold condition can be measured by a quantity called metapopulation ...

Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society of London. B, Biological Sciences, 1989
Abstract A species may go extinct either because it is unable to evolve rapidly enough to meet changing circumstances, or because its niche disappears and no capacity for rapid evolution could have saved it. Although recent extinctions can usually be interpreted as resulting from niche disappearance, the taxonomic distribution of ...
