Extinction Resilience of Island Species: An Amphibian Case and a Predictive Model

Extinction Resilience of Island Species: An Amphibian Case and a Predictive Model

Extreme overall divergence and high extinction rates are typical of insular endemics. Thus, detecting and understanding nativeness is critical on islands. Resilience to extinction is explored through a mechanistic approach focusing on midwife toads (Anura: Alytidae: Alytinae), an ancient lineage tha...
