TL;DR: Though the threat of extinction is increasing, overall declines would have been worse in the absence of conservation, and current conservation efforts remain insufficient to offset the main drivers of biodiversity loss in these groups.
Journal ArticleDOI
Quantification of Extinction Risk: IUCN's System for Classifying Threatened Species
Georgina M. Mace,Nigel Collar,Kevin J. Gaston,Craig Hilton-Taylor,H. Resit Akçakaya,Nigel Leader-Williams,E. J. Milner-Gulland,Simon N. Stuart +7 more
TL;DR: The process and the technical background to the IUCN Red List system is described, which was designed to measure the symptoms of extinction risk, and uses 5 independent criteria relating to aspects of population loss and decline of range size.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: In this article, three main approaches used to derive these currencies (correlative, mechanistic and trait-based) and their associated data requirements, spatial and temporal scales of application and modelling methods are described.

Identifying the World's Most Climate Change Vulnerable Species: A Systematic Trait-Based Assessment of all Birds, Amphibians and Corals

TL;DR: This study presents a framework for assessing three dimensions of climate change vulnerability, namely sensitivity, exposure and adaptive capacity, and finds that high concentration areas for species with traits conferring highest sensitivity and lowest adaptive capacity differ from those of highly exposed species.
Journal ArticleDOI
Predicting extinction risks under climate change: coupling stochastic population models with dynamic bioclimatic habitat models.
David A. Keith,H. Resit Akçakaya,Wilfried Thuiller,Guy F. Midgley,Richard G. Pearson,Steven J. Phillips,Helen M. Regan,Miguel B. Araújo,Tony Rebelo +8 more
TL;DR: A novel mechanistic approach allows more complete and direct appraisal of future biotic responses than do static bioclimatic habitat modelling approaches, and will ultimately support development of more effective conservation strategies to mitigate biodiversity losses due to climate change.
