Heads you win, tails you lose: Life‐history traits predict invasion and extinction risk of the world's freshwater fishes (2017, neutral): “…& Ceballos, 2009), amphibians (Cooper, Bielby, Thomas, & Purvis, 2008; Rago, While, & Uller, 2012), birds (Blackburn, Cassey, & Lockwood, 2009; Owens & Bennett, 2000), reptiles (Reed & Shine, 2002; van Wilgen, Wilson, Elith, Wintle, & Richardson, 2010), fishes (Marr et al., 2013; Reynolds,…”
Hypotheses to explain patterns of population change among breeding bird species in England (2010, background): “However, patterns of population changes for constituent species are often mixed within these assemblages; therefore, the potential risk of extinction is not evenly distributed (Owens and Bennett, 2000; Thomas et al., 2004).”
Developing an evolutionary ecology of fear : how life history and natural history traits affect disturbance tolerance in birds (2006, background): “Previous hypotheses have focused on the observation that larger species are the target of human hunters (Owens & Bennett 2000; but see Wroe et al. 2004) and the inevitable metabolic cost and smaller population sizes associated with large body size (e.g. Van Valkenburgh et al. 2004).”
Ecological and socio-economic factors affecting extinction risk in parrots (2016, methodology): “decrease the risk of extinction include large geographical distribution, high population density, lower trophic level, and various life history traits including high reproductive rate, small body size, short generation length, and a low degree of habitat specialization (Owens and Bennett 2000; Purvi”
Diversity, invasive species and extinctions in insular ecosystems (2008, background): “Since current extinction threats are taxon-or context-specific (Owens & Bennett 2000), such analyses may be of limited utility for conservation planning or in elucidating the natural history of extinctions.”
Distribution of specialist and generalist species along spatial gradients of habitat disturbance and fragmentation (2008, background): “Each species vulnerability to different risks is determined by the species’ own ecology (Owens and Bennett 2000).”
Beyond eight forms of rarity: which species are threatened and which will be next? (2001, background): “…to locations of high human density, certain life-history traits like low reproductive rate (Pimm, 1991; Purvis et al., 2000), large body size (Owens & Bennett, 2000), geographic location (Ariño & Pimm, 1995; Manne et al., 1999) and higher trophic level may predispose a species to high…”
Amphibians over the edge: silent extinction risk of Data Deficient species (2014, background): “…studies commonly find that species’ range size and habitat loss are major drivers of extinction risk and that species-specific factors, for example, body size (Owens & Bennett, 2000; Fritz et al., 2009) or geographical location (Fritz et al., 2009), interact with these to modify extinction risk.”
The persistence and conservation of Borneo’s mammals in lowland rain forests managed for timber: observations, overviews and opportunities (2007, background): “Ecological specialisation is thought to increase susceptibility to decline and extinction when environmental conditions are changing (Harcourt et al. 2002; Owens and Bennett 2000).”
A FRAMEWORK FOR ASSESSING THE RELATIVE VULNERABILITY OF SPECIES TO LAND-USE CHANGE (2004, background): “Owens and Bennett (2000), for instance, suggested that in birds, small species are more vulnerable to habitat loss and large species more vulnerable to harvesting and trade, which apparently contradicts our results.”
Habitat loss, resource specialization, and extinction on coral reefs (2004, background): “…risk in a range of terrestrial animals (e.g. insects: Hughes et al. (2000) and Kotze & O’Hara (2003); reptiles: Foufopoulos & Ives (1999); birds: Owens & Bennett (2000) and Julliard et al. (2004); mammals: Harcourt et al. (2002) and Fisher et al. (2003)), it is not clear if it has a similar…”
