Species traits predict extinction risk across the Tree of Life

2020-07-02

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Summary</h4> Biodiversity is eroding at unprecedented rates due to human activity 1 . Species’ trajectories towards extinction are shaped by multiple factors, including life-history traits 2 as well as human pressures 3 . Previous studies linking these factors to extinction risk have been narrow in their taxonomic and geographic scope 4 , thus limiting the ability for identifying global predictors. We stu...
