Journal ArticleDOI
The delayed rise of present-day mammals

TL;DR: The results show that the phylogenetic ‘fuses’ leading to the explosion of extant placental orders are not only very much longer than suspected previously, but also challenge the hypothesis that the end-Cretaceous mass extinction event had a major, direct influence on the diversification of today’s mammals.
Journal ArticleDOI

Mace,Andy Purvis +23 more
TL;DR: PanTHERIA as mentioned in this paper is a species-level data set compiled for analysis of life history, ecology, and geography of all known extant and recently extinct mammalian species, collected over a period of three years by 20 individuals.
Journal ArticleDOI
Multiple Causes of High Extinction Risk in Large Mammal Species
Marcel Cardillo,Georgina M. Mace,Kate E. Jones,Jon Bielby,Olaf R. P. Bininda-Emonds,Wes Sechrest,C. David L. Orme,Andy Purvis +7 more
TL;DR: The disadvantages of large size are greater than generally recognized, and future loss of large mammal biodiversity could be far more rapid than expected.
Journal ArticleDOI
Human Population Density and Extinction Risk in the World's Carnivores
TL;DR: It is shown that extinction risk in the mammal order Carnivora is predicted more strongly by biology than exposure to high-density human populations, and it is suggested that biology will become a more critical determinant of risk as human populations expand.
Journal ArticleDOI
The predictability of extinction: biological and external correlates of decline in mammals.
Marcel Cardillo,Georgina M. Mace,John L. Gittleman,Kate E. Jones,Jon Bielby,Jon Bielby,Andy Purvis +6 more
TL;DR: Geographical range size, human population density and latitude were the most consistently significant predictors of extinction risk, but otherwise there was little evidence for general, prescriptive indicators of high extinction risk across mammals.
