The perceived rarity of an individual's appearance may promote their removal from wild populations.
“In other instances, the perceived rarity of an individual's appearance may promote their removal from wild populations (Courchamp et al., 2006;Hall et al., 2008;Palazy et al., 2012).”
From Of Rarity and Symbolism: Understanding Human Perceptions of Charismatic Color Morphs (2024) · cites this paper as Palazy et al., 2012
The Abstract (page unavailable) reports that trophies of rare ungulate species command higher prices and that this may encourage their exploitation. The Rarity section (page unavailable) defines rarity using conservation status and geographic distribution, not the perceived rarity of an individual’s appearance; that specific part of the claim is unsupported.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
