When are extinctions simply bad luck? Rarefaction as a framework for disentangling selective and stochastic extinctions

2020-01-01

Abstract excerpt

A key challenge in conservation biology is that not all species are equally likely to go extinct when faced with a disturbance, but there are multiple overlapping reasons for such differences in extinction probability. Differences in species extinction risk may represent extinction selectivity, a non‐random process by which species’ risks of extinction are caused by differences in fitness based on traits. Addition...
