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

Planning for megafauna recovery in the tropical rainforests of Sumatra
Frontiers 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.

Imperfect detection biases extinction‐debt assessments
Conservation Science and Practice, 2021 Freshwater ecosystems have been substantially altered, threatening the survival and recovery of aquatic species at risk. Estimating the likelihood and magnitude of future extinctions (extinction debt; ED) is integral for conserving biodiversity and ...

Is Praecox Feeling at risk of extinction?
European Psychiatry, 2022 IntroductionPraecox feeling (PF) is a characteristic feeling of bizarreness or unease that a psychiatrist experiences when facing a patient with schizophrenia. This term, proposed by Rumke in 1941, was considered an important feature of a schizophrenia diagnosis.

Mussel parasite richness and risk of extinction
Conservation Biology, 2022 AbstractParasite conservation is important for the maintenance of ecosystem diversity and function. Conserving parasites relies first on understanding parasite biodiversity and second on estimating the extinction risk to that biodiversity. Although steps have been taken independently in both these areas, previous studies have overwhelmingly focused on ...

Elevational Distribution and Extinction Risk in Birds [PDF]
PLOS ONE, 2015 Mountainous regions are hotspots of terrestrial biodiversity. Unlike islands, which have been the focus of extensive research on extinction dynamics, fewer studies have examined mountain ranges even though they face increasing threats from human pressures - notably habitat conversion and climate change.

Conservation genetics – science in the service of nature
Acta Biologica, 2020 Conservation genetics is a subdicipline of conservation biology which deals with the extinction risk and many other problems of nature conservation by using genetic tools and techniques.

Extinction Risk Escalates in the Tropics
PLoS ONE, 2008 The latitudinal biodiversity gradient remains one of the most widely recognized yet puzzling patterns in nature. Presently, the high level of extinction of tropical species, referred to as the "tropical biodiversity crisis", has the potential to erode this pattern.

Climate-mediated shifts in temperature fluctuations promote extinction risk [PDF]
Nat. Clim. Chang. 12, 1037-1044 (2022), 2022 Climate-mediated changes in the spatiotemporal distribution of thermal stress can destabilize animal populations and promote extinction risk. Using quantile, spectral, and wavelet analyses of temperature projections from the latest generation of earth system models, we show that significant regional differences are expected to arise in the way that ...
