What is Plant Extinction Risks in Biodiversity Hotspot about?

This document discusses a study on the links between extinction risk and diversification in plants within the Cape Floristic Region biodiversity hotspot. The study found that extinction risks are not consistent with a simple trait-based extinction model and that threatened plant species cluster at the tips of phylogenetic trees, unlike mammalian extinctions which hit deeper branches. The study indicates that extinction risk and diversification are evolutionarily linked within this biodiversity hotspot.
