Reconstructing past species assemblages reveals the changing patterns and drivers of extinction through time

L Bromham, R Lanfear, P Cassey… - Proceedings of the …, 2012 - royalsocietypublishing.org
Predicting future species extinctions from patterns of past extinctions or current threat status
relies on the assumption that the taxonomic and biological selectivity of extinction is
consistent through time. If the driving forces of extinction change through time, this
assumption may be unrealistic. Testing the consistency of extinction patterns between the
past and the present has been difficult, because the phylogenetically explicit methods used
to model present-day extinction risk typically cannot be applied to the data from the fossil …
