Publication year: 2011 Source: Trends in Ecology & Evolution, Available online 23 October 2011 Marcel Cardillo, Erik Meijaard Large-scale, comparative studies of species extinction risk have become common in conservation science, but their influence on conservation practice appears limited. The link between such studies and the practice of conservation breaks down in two key places. First, results of comparative studies are often ambiguous, inconsistent and difficult to translate into policy.
