Extrinsic threats and biological predisposition in animal extinction and rediscovery

全球物种灭绝危机迫在眉睫，澳大利亚有着令人震惊的记录，尤其是哺乳动物的灭绝。这个发现不同的威胁如何影响每个物种的项目的结果将导致关注物种和区域特定原因的管理。这将有助于防止澳大利亚哺乳动物和其他动物群的进一步灭绝。许多人希望对我们来说特别重要的物种，如袋狼，能够抵抗灭绝，并将被重新发现。该项目将测试哪些预测因素可以增加物种重新发现的机会，并帮助管理机构计划未来重新发现的预期数量。

A global extinction crisis looms, and Australia has a shocking record, especially of mammal extinctions. The results of this project to find how different threats affect each species will lead to management that focusses on species- and region-specific causes. This will help to prevent further extinctions of Australian mammals and other fauna. Many people hope that species of particular importance to us such as the thylacine have defied extinction, and will be rediscovered. This project will test which predictive factors can increase the chance of species rediscovery, and help management agencies plan for the expected number of future rediscoveries.
