The 53 pages that link to Extinction, each with the reason it gives.

• Invasive speciesRelated: Invasive predators, competitors, and pathogens can contribute to local or global extinctions.

• Conservation biologyRelated: Preventing irreversible species loss is a central aim of conservation biology.

• BiogeographyRelated: Extinction, not just dispersal, shapes which species are present in each region today.

• EndemismRelated: Local extinction can erase endemism by removing a taxon from part of its former range.

• Biological invasionRelated: Introduced predators, competitors, and pathogens can contribute to native species extinctions.

• Georges CuvierRelated: Cuvier argued from fossils that extinction was real, despite its rarity in living nature.

• On the Origin of SpeciesRelated: The book connects competition and environmental change with the disappearance of lineages.

• Mary AnningRelated: Her marine reptiles provided vivid evidence that entire kinds of animals had vanished.

• HabitatRelated: Severe or persistent habitat decline can leave a species unable to survive.

• Crown groupRelated: Extinct descendants remain inside a crown group even though none survive.

• Endemic speciesRelated: A narrow endemic range can make regional threats capable of eliminating a species worldwide.

• CryptozoologyRelated: Some cryptozoological claims propose surviving populations of animals considered extinct.

• Island ruleRelated: Island-adapted giants and dwarfs can be especially vulnerable to rapid environmental change.

• Insular dwarfismRelated: Island dwarf lineages can be especially exposed to habitat loss and environmental disruption.

• Mesopredator releaseRelated: Release can follow local predator loss without requiring global species extinction.

• Jurassic CoastRelated: The coast’s extinct marine reptiles supplied striking evidence that entire kinds of life had vanished.

• Animal evolutionRelated: Extinction repeatedly pruned animal diversity and redirected the course of evolution.

• E. O. WilsonRelated: Wilson warned that human-driven extinction was eroding biological diversity.

• Insect collectingRelated: Concern about rare species has led collectors to weigh scientific value against removal risks.

• MosasaurusRelated: Recognition of the Maastricht animal helped establish that entire kinds of animals could disappear.

• Alpine ibexRelated: Intensive hunting brought Alpine ibex close to extinction outside a protected refuge.

• History of paleontologyRelated: Recognizing extinction made gaps between fossil organisms intelligible as changes in life.

• MacroevolutionRelated: Extinction prunes the tree of life and changes which lineages diversify.

• PademelonRelated: The loss of closely related macropods, such as the broad-faced potoroo, underscores the stakes of habitat and predator pressures.

• Tropical and subtropical dry broadleaf forestsRelated: Habitat destruction puts range-restricted dry-forest species at heightened risk.

• Barbary lionRelated: The Barbary lion’s extinction in the wild concerns the loss of its free-ranging population.

• Land snailRelated: Habitat loss and introduced predators have driven many island land snails toward extinction.

• ChoughRelated: Regional chough disappearances and recolonizations illustrate local extinction and recovery.

• MacrotisRelated: The lesser bilby’s disappearance is the genus’s defining loss.

• ThylacocephalaRelated: Their eventual disappearance is part of the unresolved history of the lineage.
