Assessing patterns of extinction risk among mammal species in Nigeria: A comparative analysis of human impact

2026-03-17

Abstract excerpt

This study aimed to evaluate how biological traits influence extinction risk among mammal species in Nigeria, and how these traits interact with specific anthropogenic threats such as agriculture, urbanization and climate change. Focusing on mammal species in Nigeria, we used phylogenetic logistic regression to test the influence of five biological traits: body mass, brain mass, generation time, current geographic...
