Fig. 2: High extinction risk of coral reef sharks and rays due to exposure to overfishing and other threatening processes combined with sensitive life histories.
From: Half a century of rising extinction risk of coral reef sharks and rays
a IUCN Threat classification for coral reef species. Percent of coral reef shark and ray species in each IUCN category by b residency patterns, and c trophic positions. The effects of d maximum body size, e geographic range size (indexed by number of nations a species occurs in), and (f) lower depth limit on the probability that a data-sufficient reef shark or ray species is listed as either Critically Endangered (CR), Endangered (EN), Vulnerable (VU), Near Threatened (NT), or Least Concern (LC) based on cumulative link mixed-effects models.
