Abstract in brief

  • The study investigates how demographic traits like survival and reproduction rates are linked to species' risk of extinction, using data from various databases and the IUCN Red List.
  • Researchers found that vulnerability varies among different groups: herbaceous perennials are more at risk if they mature early and have high juvenile survival, birds if they have high growth and reproduction rates, and mammals if they have longer generation times.
  • The findings could help predict which species are more at risk and improve conservation efforts, especially considering species that haven't yet been assessed but live in biodiversity hotspots.

Just so we're all really clear, we have a pretty good idea of who's going extinct as a result of Republican politician climate denial. #ClimateCrimes "Demographic and life history traits explain patterns in species vulnerability to extinction." https://t.co/msyv9LPOlB
