Ecological Correlates of Extinction Proneness in Tropical Butterflies

Article Abstract:

A taxon-specific model is used to assess extinction proneness of Southeast Asian butterflies, and biologically relevant species characteristics are used to do the same for butterflies in a significantly disturbed area in Singapore. The use of these methods for determining extinction proneness for different taxonomic groups is supported.
