Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2022 China has many threatened plant species, which are exposed to environmental degradation and other anthropogenic pressures. We assessed support for potential extinction pathways in Chinese angiosperm genera and quantified possible threats to phylogenetic ...

Mussel parasite richness and risk of extinction
Conservation Biology, 2022 Abstract Parasite 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.

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.

Ecological and Conservation Correlates of Rarity in New World Pitvipers
Diversity, 2019 Rare species tend to be especially sensitive to habitat disturbance, making them important conservation targets. Thus, rarity patterns might be an important guide to conservation efforts.

Area‐based assessment of extinction risk [PDF]
Ecology, 2012 Underpinning the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Red List is the assessment of extinction risk as determined by the size and degree of loss of populations. The IUCN system lists a species as Critically Endangered, Endangered, or Vulnerable if its population size declines 80%, 50%, or 30% within a given time frame.

Chemical antipredator defence is linked to higher extinction risk [PDF]
Royal Society Open Science, 2016 Many attributes of species may be linked to contemporary extinction risk, though some such traits remain untested despite suggestions that they may be important.

Is the long‐tailed macaque at risk of extinction?
American Journal of Primatology, 2023 AbstractWe review the evidence that long‐tailed macaques are at risk of extinction and find that papers supporting this argument present no data supporting a hypothesized decline in abundance. These papers contain numerous misrepresentations of the published literature.

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 ...

In silico and in vitro exploration of a tyrosinase for biocatalytic production of catechols
FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.Tyrosinase from Ralstonia pseudosolanacearum is a promising biocatalyst for producing valuable catechols from monophenol substrates. This tyrosinase is uniquely suited to this due to its high monophenolase : diphenolase ratio. We combined in silico docking and in vivo kinetic characterisation of this tyrosinase with 11 industrially relevant monophenols,
