From: Dynamics of extinction debt across five taxonomic groups
These are given for two taxonomic groups: (a) small mammals and (b) tropical forest birds. The unbroken line is that of t50 as predicted by Supplementary Equation 9. The lower broken line is the expected time to first extinction, tF, according to Supplementary Equation 10. The upper broken line is the expected time to last extinction tL (Supplementary Equation 11). The calculations were based on appropriate parameters S0, ρ and τ for these two taxonomic groups (see Supplementary Note 3).
