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.

Ecological correlates of extinction risk in Chinese terrestrial mammals
Diversity and Distributions: A journal of biological invasions and biodiversity, 2021 China is among the countries with highest mammal diversity in the world, but a considerable proportion of Chinese terrestrial mammal species is currently at risk of extinction.

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

Correlates of extinction risk in Australian squamate reptiles
Journal of Biogeography, 2021 Identification of particular traits that predispose species to elevated extinction risk is an important component of proactive conservation. We capitalise on a recent strategic extinction risk assessment of all Australian squamate reptiles to identify ...

Environmental and socioeconomic correlates of extinction risk in endemic species
Diversity and Distributions: A journal of biological invasions and biodiversity, 2021 Our current understanding of the causes of global extinction risk is mostly informed by the expert knowledge‐based “threats classification scheme” of the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species.

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.

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.

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 ...

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.
