Linking speciation to extinction: Diversification raises contemporary extinction risk in amphibians [PDF]
Evolution Letters, 2017 AbstractMany of the traits associated with elevated rates of speciation, including niche specialization and having small and isolated populations, are similarly linked with an elevated risk of extinction. This suggests that rapidly speciating lineages may also be more extinction prone.

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.

High prices for rare species can drive large populations extinct: the anthropogenic Allee effect revisited [PDF]
, 2017 Consumer demand for plant and animal products threatens many populations with extinction. The anthropogenic Allee effect (AAE) proposes that such extinctions can be caused by prices for wildlife products increasing with species rarity.

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.

Geography of current and future global mammal extinction risk. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2017 Identifying which species are at greatest risk, what makes them vulnerable, and where they are distributed are central goals for conservation science. While knowledge of which factors influence extinction risk is increasingly available for some taxonomic

Predators Reduce Extinction Risk in Noisy Metapopulations [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2010 Spatial structure across fragmented landscapes can enhance regional population persistence by promoting local "rescue effects." In small, vulnerable populations, where chance or random events between individuals may have disproportionately large effects on species interactions, such local processes are particularly important.

A comprehensive quantitative assessment of bird extinction risk in Brazil. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 In an effort to avoid species loss, scientists have focused their efforts on the mechanisms making some species more prone to extinction than others. However, species show different responses to threats given their evolutionary history, behavior, and ...
