Predictors of extinction risk of passerine birds in a Central European country

Original language description

To develop effective conservation measures, it is crucial that we understand how ecological and life-history traits relate to risk of species extinction. Through the use of phylogenetic generalized least-squares regression, this study assesses the relative importance of habitat specialization, life history, migration strategy and climatic niche as predictors of national threat level for 86 passerine bird species breeding in the Czech Republic. We found that, after controlling for variation in breeding distribution, slow life history increases the extinction risk in habitat specialist species, but reduces such risk in habitat generalists. The higher threat of habitat specialists is consistent with their higher sensitivity to human-induced environmentalperturbations, most notably to the habitat loss. However, our results suggest that the negative effects of habitat specialization appear to be somewhat compensated for by fast life history. For example, species with fast life histories ty
