In the life of any species, extinction is the final evolutionary process. It is a common one at present, as the world is entering a major extinction crisis. The pattern of extinction and threat is very non-random, with some taxa being more vulnerable than others.

Lists of extinct species often act as “wake-up calls” and are based on the length of time since the last sighting, resulting in numerous species having been prematurely classified as being extinct only to be rediscovered ([1][1]). This not only provides ammunition for environmental sceptics (D.

The author discusses extinctions that could occur in the 100 years following 2013, focusing on the impact of invasive species, diseases, and climate change on animal populations and providing recommendations that could avert extinctions. According to the author, coral reefs may disappear, poaching could result in the extinction of the Borneo rhino, and

Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society of London. B, Biological Sciences, 1989
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 parthenogens suggests that ...

Human Nature, 1994
The probability of lineal extinction is sensitive to all the moments of the reproductive success probability distribution. In particular, high variance in reproductive success is associated with high probability of lineal extinction. Where male variance in reproductive success exceeds female variance, strictly patrilineal lines of descent will become ...

The pharmacology of extinction
Journal of Ethnopharmacology, 1992It 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.

Many species went extinct during the Late Pleistocene, including a large proportion of the Earth’s megafauna. Recent research on Pleistocene extinctions has started to reveal that species responded individualistically to environmental fluctuations and human interference.
