Domain-specific¶
- Species–Area Relationship
- A 90% reduction in habitat area predicts a species loss of approximately 1 − (0.1)^z, which for z = 0.25 is about 44% of species.
This sourceThe case that habitat destruction is the leading cause of extinction and that the species it dooms are lost with a lag, the peak of extinctions possibly decades after the loss.

“So habitat loss initially causes few extinctions, then many only as the last remnants of habitat are destroyed.”

Verification¶
Does it exist? Not checked yet. This work's DOI is recorded above but has not been resolved against an external catalogue, so nothing here confirms the work exists.
Does it back the claim? Read against the text for 1 of 1 citation: 1 supported in part. Each verdict is shown under its citation below, with what in the work backs the sentence.
Support is checked per citation rather than per work — the same source can be cited soundly in one article and wrongly in another. Per-citation recording began recently, so a citation with no recorded check is a gap in the record rather than evidence it went unchecked.
