DOI: 10.1002/ece3.8648
Abstract: Abstract Understanding the risk of local extinction of a species is vital in conservation biology, especially now when anthropogenic disturbances and global warming are severely changing natural habitats. Local extinction risk depends on species traits,… read more here.

Temporal rarity is a better predictor of local extinction risk than spatial rarity.

DOI: 10.1002/ecy.3504
Abstract: Spatial rarity is often used to predict extinction risk, but rarity can also occur temporally. Perhaps more relevant in the context of global change is whether a species is core to a community (persistent) or… read more here.

Linking the seven forms of rarity to extinction threats and risk factors: an assessment of North American fireflies
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2019 at "Biodiversity and Conservation"
DOI: 10.1007/s10531-019-01869-7
Abstract: Two key problems in trying to link rarity to extinction risk have been conflating threats with risk factors, and over-reliance on a rarity construct that fails to capture many relevant risk factors. In this study,… read more here.

Extinction risk and conservation gaps for Aloe (Asphodelaceae) in the Horn of Africa

DOI: 10.1007/s10531-019-01870-0
Abstract: Identification of conservation priorities is essential for conservation planning, especially as the biodiversity crisis develops. We aimed to support conservation prioritisation by addressing knowledge gaps for the genus Aloe in the Horn of Africa. Specifically,… read more here.

Assessing environmental response of gastropod species in karst springs: what species response curves say us about niche characteristic and extinction risk?

DOI: 10.1007/s10531-019-01905-6
Abstract: Spring ecosystems are exceptionally threatened and their conservation is often emphasized due to high levels of endemism among the groups inhabiting these ecosystems. This study includes gastropod assemblages of 36 springs situated in the northwestern… read more here.

A Bayesian framework for assessing extinction risk based on ordinal categories of population condition and projected landscape change
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2021 at "Biological Conservation"
DOI: 10.1016/j.biocon.2020.108866
Abstract: Abstract Many at-risk species lack standardized surveys across their range or quantitative data capable of detecting demographic trends. As a result, extinction risk assessments often rely on ordinal categories of risk based on explicit criteria… read more here.

Tracking the rising extinction risk of sharks and rays in the Northeast Atlantic Ocean and Mediterranean Sea

DOI: 10.1038/s41598-021-94632-4
Abstract: The loss of biodiversity is increasingly well understood on land, but trajectories of extinction risk remain largely unknown in the ocean. We present regional Red List Indices (RLIs) to track the extinction risk of 119… read more here.

DOI: 10.1073/pnas.2216891120
Abstract: Overfishing is the most significant threat facing sharks and rays. Given the growth in consumption of seafood, combined with the compounding effects of habitat loss, climate change, and pollution, there is a need to identify… read more here.

Colour polymorphism influences species' range and extinction risk
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2019 at "Biology Letters"
DOI: 10.1098/rsbl.2019.0228
Abstract: Polymorphisms in a population are expected to increase the growth rate and the stability of the population, leading to the expansion of geographical distribution and mitigation of extinction risk of a species. However, the generality… read more here.

DOI: 10.1098/rsos.170051
Abstract: Trait analysis has become a crucial tool for assessing the extinction risk of species. While some extinction risk-trait relationships have been often identical between different living taxa, a temporal comparison of fossil taxa with related… read more here.

DOI: 10.1098/rsos.221507
Abstract: Many modern extinction drivers are shared with past mass extinction events, such as rapid climate warming, habitat loss, pollution and invasive species. This commonality presents a key question: can the extinction risk of species during… read more here.
