Extreme dwarfs and giants more likely to go extinct
Islands are biodiversity hotspots and home to animal species with unique features, including dwarfs that evolved to very small sizes compared to their mainland relatives, and giants. An international study now shows that those species have a higher risk of extinction. The findings are supported by a software developed by SIB’s Daniele Silvestro at the University of Fribourg.
