Island extinctions: processes, patterns, and potential for ecosystem restoration (2017, unknown): “For example, >90% of historic bird extinctions were on islands (Johnson and Stattersfield 1990).”
Cryptic genetic diversity in "widespread" Southeast Asian bird species suggests that Philippine avian endemism is gravely underestimated. (2010, background): “Fewer than one-fifth of the world’s bird species are restricted to islands, but over 90% of documented avian extinctions are island endemics (Johnson and Stattersfield, 1990).”
Prominent role of invasive species in avian biodiversity loss (2009, background): “…a large proportion of historic extinctions have involved predation by invasive mammals (e.g. Blackburn et al., 2004; Duncan and Blackburn, 2007), which along with direct human harvesting, had a huge impact upon less diversified, mostly island lineages (Johnson and Stattersfield, 1990; Biber, 2002).”
