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 ...

Global analysis of threat status reveals higher extinction risk in tropical than in temperate bird sister species [PDF]
, 2019 Given increasing pressures upon biodiversity, identification of species’ traits related to elevated extinction risk is useful for more efficient allocation of limited resources for nature conservation.

The threatened status of restricted-range coral reef fish species [PDF]
, 2000 Coral reefs are the most diverse ecosystem in the sea. Throughout the world they are being overfished, polluted and destroyed, placing biodiversity at risk.

Extinction risks of Amazonian plant species [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2009 Estimates of the number, and preferably the identity, of species that will be threatened by land-use change and habitat loss are an invaluable tool for setting conservation priorities. Here, we use collections data and ecoregion maps to generate spatially explicit distributions for more than 40,000 vascular plant species from the Amazon basin ...

Global Trends in the Status of Bird and Mammal Pollinators [PDF]
, 2015 Biodiversity is declining, with direct and indirect effects on ecosystem func-tions and services that are poorly quantified. Here, we develop the first globalassessment of trends in pollinators, focusing on pollinating birds and mam-mals.

Human population density and extinction risk in the world's carnivores. [PDF]
PLoS Biology, 2004 Understanding why some species are at high risk of extinction, while others remain relatively safe, is central to the development of a predictive conservation science.

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 ...

Drivers of extinction risk in African mammals: the interplay of distribution state, human pressure, conservation response and species biology [PDF]
, 2014 Although conservation intervention has reversed the decline of some species, our success is outweighed by a much larger number of species moving towards extinction.

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.
