Identifying species at extinction risk using global models of anthropogenic impact

Abstract: The International Union for Conservation of Nature Red List of Endangered Species employs a robust, standardized approach to assess extinction threat focussed on taxa approaching an end-point in population decline. Used alone, we argue this enforces a reactive approach to conservation. Species not assessed as threatened but which occur predominantly in areas with high levels of anthropogenic impact may require proactive conservation management to prevent loss. We matched distribution and bathymetric range data… Show more

“…For example, the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species (http://www.iucnredlist.org/) was conceived for this purpose becoming through time the most used system for assigning species' threat status (Keith et al, 2014). Nowadays the IUCN Red List may be used to aid effective conservation strategies by incorporating genetic data (Rivers et al, 2014), in conjunction with models to detect extinction risk from climate change (Keith et al, 2014) and to identify species at extinction risk using global models of anthropogenic impact (Peters et al, 2014).…”

“…Understanding range contraction is important for conservation and management, particularly if we hope to accurately predict future range changes and assess the effects of new threats (Thomas et al , , Newbold et al , Peters et al , Selwood et al , Stanton et al ). Our global study based on data from four different groups of vertebrates reveals the need to develop more realistic null models to use as baselines.…”

“…Clearly, Eq. (2) implemented via grid cell occupancy measures frequency and/or AOO (Peters et al 2015), and does not account for the geographical relationship of the cells, or EOO. Guerin et al (2015) reworked 'weighted endemism' (i.e.…”

“…Range rarity is a major consideration for conservation planning because it informs spatial management priorities and can be estimated from readily available incidence data (Crisp et al 2001;Peters et al 2015). Restriction in area of occupancy (AOO), extent of occurrence (EOO) or landscape-scale frequency is a basic species conservation metric because species with more restricted ranges are considered at greater risk of extinction and contribute to biological uniqueness (Csuti et al 1997;Crisp et al 2001;Peters et al 2015).…”
