Abstract in brief

  • Parasites are likely to face high risks of extinction due to climate change, similar to other species, because of their coextinction risks and climate sensitivities.
  • The current methods for identifying species threatened by climate change are inadequate for parasites, due to their diverse biological traits and ecological roles.
  • The authors suggest using biological traits like host specificity, complex life cycles, and narrow climate tolerance to identify parasites most at risk and prioritize conservation efforts.]
