Analysis uncovers varied extinction rates in different clades, with habitat loss being a significant threat.

Current extinction rates vary significantly among clades, and extinctions in molluscs and tetrapods are notably higher.
Biodiversity loss has escalated over 500 years; however, rates have declined in the last 100 years for some groups.
Invasive species have significantly impacted island extinctions, while habitat loss poses the greatest risk in continental regions.
Surprisingly, past extinctions do not strongly predict current risk across different environments and life forms.

Saban et al. (2025) studied this question.
