Minimizing the population extinction risk by migration [PDF]
Phys. Rev. Lett. 109, 138104 (2012), 2012 Many populations in nature are fragmented: they consist of local populations occupying separate patches. A local population is prone to extinction due to the shot noise of birth and death processes. A migrating population from another patch can dramatically delay the extinction.

Quantifying and categorising national extinction-risk footprints [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2022 Biodiversity, essential to delivering the ecosystem services that support humanity, is under threat. Projections show that loss of biodiversity, specifically increases in species extinction, is likely to continue without significant intervention.

Modeling the extinction risk of European butterflies and odonates [PDF]
Ecology and Evolution, 2022 Insect populations have become increasingly threatened during the last decades due to climate change and landuse intensification. Species characteristics driving these threats remain poorly understood.

The risk of extinction - the mutational meltdown or the overpopulation [PDF]
Theory Biosci. 125 (2007) 147, 2006 The phase diagrams survival-extinction for the Penna model with parameters: (mutations rate)-(birth rate), (mutation rate)-(harmful mutations threshold), (harmful mutation threshold)-(minimal reproduction age) are presented. The extinction phase may be caused by either mutational meltdown or overpopulation.

Spatial heterogeneity of extinction risk for flowering plants in China [PDF]
Nature CommunicationsUnderstanding the variability of extinction risk and its potential drivers across different spatial extents is crucial to revealing the underlying processes of biodiversity loss and sustainability. However, in countries with high climatic and topographic

Interaction strength and extinction risk in a metacommunity [PDF]
Proceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, 2005 Species interactions and connectivity are both central to explaining the stability of ecological communities and the problem of species extinction. Yet, the role of species interactions for the stability of spatially subdivided communities still eludes ecologists.

Areal sizes of high, intermediate, low and total suitable habitats are correlated to the global extinction risk for mammals [PDF]
Archives of Biological Sciences, 2014 The relationships between areal sizes of high, intermediate, low, and total sum of habitats with low, intermediate and high suitability habitat ranges, and the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) threatened status of global ...

A comprehensive quantitative assessment of bird extinction risk in Brazil. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 In an effort to avoid species loss, scientists have focused their efforts on the mechanisms making some species more prone to extinction than others. However, species show different responses to threats given their evolutionary history, behavior, and ...
