Beetle Species–Area Relationships and Extinction Rates in Protected Areas [PDF]
Insects, 2020 The species–area relationship (SAR, i.e., the increase in species richness with area) is one of the most general ecological patterns. SARs can be used to calculate expected extinction rates following area (habitat) loss.
