Avoiding ocean mass extinction from climate warming
Science, 2022Global warming threatens marine biota with losses of unknown severity. Here, we quantify global and local extinction risks in the ocean across a range of climate futures on the basis of the ecophysiological limits of diverse animal species and ...

Extinction Debt at Extinction Threshold [PDF]
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 capacity, which can be calculated for real ...

Resistance to extinction versus extinction as discrimination
Journal of the Experimental Analysis of Behavior, 2021The hypothesis that response strength might be measured by persistence of responding in the face of extinction was discredited in the 1960s because experiments showed that responding persists longer following intermittent reinforcers than following continuous reinforcers.

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

Studies in History and Philosophy of Science Part C: Studies in History and Philosophy of Biological and Biomedical Sciences, 2007
The phenomenon of species extinction raises more and more concern among ecologists facing the actual crisis of biodiversity. Scientific investigations of the causes and effects of extinction must be completed by a philosophical analysis of the concept of extinction that aims to clarify the meanings of the term 'extinction' and to analyse modalities ...
