iucn_sim: a new program to simulate future extinctions based on IUCN threat status
The ongoing environmental crisis poses an urgent need to forecast the who, where and when of future species extinctions, as such information is crucial for targeting conservation efforts. Commonly, such forecasts are made based on conservation status assessments produced by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN). However, when...Andermann, Tobias ; Faurby, Søren ; Cooke, Robert ; Silvestro, Daniele ; Antonelli, Alexandre

Selective extinction against redundant species buffers functional diversity
The extinction of species can destabilize ecological processes. A way to assess the ecological consequences of species loss is by examining changes in functional diversity. The preservation of functional diversity depends on the range of ecological roles performed by species, or functional richness, and the number of species per role,...Pimiento, Catalina ; Bacon, Christine D. ; Silvestro, Daniele ; Hendy, Austin ; Jaramillo, Carlos …
