Extinction risk in vascular plants and vertebrates is negatively correlated with family size
Global Ecology and Conservation, 2021 Understanding the pattern of species extinction risk is key to biodiversity conservation. Previous studies showed extinction risk correlates strongly with taxon species richness. However, there is no consistent conclusion to this hypothesis, and patterns

Extinction risk from climate change [PDF]
Nature, 2004 Climate change over the past approximately 30 years has produced numerous shifts in the distributions and abundances of species and has been implicated in one species-level extinction. Using projections of species' distributions for future climate scenarios, we assess extinction risks for sample regions that cover some 20% of the Earth's terrestrial ...

The perils of picky eating: dietary breadth is related to extinction risk in insectivorous bats. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2007 Several recent papers evaluate the relationship between ecological characteristics and extinction risk in bats. These studies report that extinction risk is negatively related to geographic range size and positively related to habitat specialization ...

Verifying the predicted risk of extinction based on ecological characteristics
Conservation 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.

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 ...

Extinction risk of soil biota [PDF]
Nature Communications, 2015 AbstractNo species lives on earth forever. Knowing when and why species go extinct is crucial for a complete understanding of the consequences of anthropogenic activity, and its impact on ecosystem functioning. Even though soil biota play a key role in maintaining the functioning of ecosystems, the vast majority of existing studies focus on aboveground

Frontiers 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.
