Preservation of Natural Diversity: The Problem of Extinction Prone Species
Abstract
Extinction coefficients are estimated from the rates of disappearance of bird species from islands severed from the Neotropical mainland at the close of the Pleistocene. These coefficients accurately predict the loss of species from Barro Colorado Island, Panama, over a recent 50-year period. Prescriptions are given for the preservation of six categories of extinction prone species.

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.
