- Mass extinctions – Historical Geology
Without extinction, there would likely be insufficient ecological “space” available for new species The pattern we see in the fossil record is not one of continuous diversification with new species being added, but none ever removed Instead, the average species lasts a few million years, and then vanishes forever from the face of the planet
- Shark | Species | WWF - World Wildlife Fund
There are more than 1,000 species of sharks and rays, with new species discovered every year These majestic top predators that are so essential to the natural order of marine ecosystems now face their most severe threat from overfishing Many species are threatened with extinction, with some families of rays such as sawfishes in peril
- The cost of recovering Australia’s threatened species
The combined cost of implementing all the TAS required to recover species across Australia was AU$583 billion per year (Fig 4) As per uncertainty estimates in ref 13, the true costs may vary by
- Climate change extinctions | Science
At current warming levels of ~1 3°C, 1 6% of species are projected to be threatened with extinction from climate change, translating into 160,000 species, assuming 10 million total species Yet only 19 extinctions have been recorded and attributed partially to climate change so far
- Extinction and Extirpation - Encyclopedia. com
A 2004 study by Chris Thomas and colleagues calculated that, out of a sample 1,103 animal and plant species, 15 to 37% would be committed to extinction by 2050 as a result of climate change—that is, that the number of living individuals of each species would be so small that the species’ extinction some time after 2050 would become highly
