The predictability of extinction: biological and external correlates of decline in mammals
Extinction risk varies among species, and comparative analyses can help clarify the causes
of this variation. Here we present a phylogenetic comparative analysis of species-level …

Geographical variation in predictors of mammalian extinction risk: big is bad, but only in the tropics
Whereas previous studies have investigated correlates of extinction risk either at global or
regional scales, our study explicitly models regional effects of anthropogenic threats and …
