Verifying the predicted risk of extinction based on ecological characteristics

open access: yesConservation Science and Practice, 2021
Red List status of species should reflect species extinction risk. Because data are limited and species response has a time lag, species may be threatened by extinction even if they are not Red‐Listed.

Accelerated mass extinction in an isolated biota during Late Devonian climate changes

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2021
The fossil record can illuminate factors that contribute to extinction risk during times of global environmental disturbance; for example, inferred thermal tolerance was an important predictor of extinction during several mass extinctions that ...

Areal sizes of high, intermediate, low and total suitable habitats are correlated to the global extinction risk for mammals [PDF]

open access: yesArchives 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 ...

Global Estimation and Mapping of the Conservation Status of Tree Species Using Artificial Intelligence

open access: yesFrontiers in Plant Science, 2022
Trees are fundamental for Earth’s biodiversity as primary producers and ecosystem engineers and are responsible for many of nature’s contributions to people. Yet, many tree species at present are threatened with extinction by human activities.

Planning for megafauna recovery in the tropical rainforests of Sumatra

open access: yesFrontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2023
Human-induced forest loss has had devastating impacts on biodiversity. Mammal populations in the tropics have been hit particularly hard by the resulting habitat loss, fragmentation and degradation, as well as by overhunting which often goes hand-in-hand.

Multispecies approaches to status assessments in support of endangered species classifications

open access: yesConservation Science and Practice, 2022
Multispecies risk assessments have developed within many international conservation programs, reflecting a widespread need for efficiency. Under the United States Endangered Species Act (ESA), multispecies assessments ultimately lead to species‐level ...

Conservation status, threats, and information needs of small mammals in Alaska

open access: yesConservation Science and Practice, 2022
Small mammals are under‐represented in conservation research relative to other mammals. We assessed the conservation status of 36 small mammal species in Alaska, USA using the Alaska Species Ranking System (ASRS).
