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.

A global ecological signal of extinction risk in marine ray-finned fishes (class Actinopterygii) [PDF]

Cambridge Prisms: Extinction, 2023
Many marine fish species are experiencing population declines, but their extinction risk profiles are largely understudied in comparison to their terrestrial vertebrate counterparts.

Spatial heterogeneity of extinction risk for flowering plants in China [PDF]

Nature Communications
Understanding 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

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 ...

Effects of evolutionary history and life form on extinction risk of Chinese flowering plants

Global Ecology and Conservation, 2023
There has been much debate on what, including evolutionary history, ecological processes or environmental change, might contribute to species extinctions.

Predicting extinctions with species distribution models

Cambridge Prisms: Extinction, 2023
Predictions of species-level extinction risk from climate change are mostly based on species distribution models (SDMs). Reviewing the literature, we summarise why the translation of SDM results to extinction risk is conceptually and methodologically ...
