Should regional species loss be faster, or slower, than local loss? It depends on density-dependent rate of death
P. Keil, A. T. Clark, V. Bartak, F. Leroy
The paper investigates how species loss rates vary with spatial grain, showing that regional and local extinction rates differ due to ecological mechanisms like the Allee and Janzen-Connell effects.
