Ecological conditions determine extinction risk in co-evolving bacteria-phage populations. [PDF]
, 2016 BACKGROUND: Antagonistic coevolution between bacteria and their viral parasites, phage, drives continual evolution of resistance and infectivity traits through recurrent cycles of adaptation and counter-adaptation.

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.

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.

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.

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 ...
