El turismo de sol y playa acelera la extinción de plantas en la costa de Canarias
Un estudio realizado por investigadores del IPNA-CSIC revela que al menos ocho especies vegetales endémicas del archipiélago han desaparecido de la faz de la Tierra desde 1750

These findings underscore why islands need urgent conservation efforts. Studying life-history traits can help predict and prevent future losses, before more species vanish unnoticed. Photo credit: #JavierMartínCarbajal 🧵 6/8

A striking example? Lotus gomerythus, a plant species that exhibited many of the traits associated with high extinction risk, went extinct in nature during our study’s publication process. Photo credit: #JavierMartínCarbajal 🧵 5/8

What drives extinction events? Key factors include: Invasive herbivores, island age, elevation, and human population pressure. Certain traits also increase extinction risk: Endemism, vertebrate pollination, nitrogen-fixation and zoochory (seed dispersal by animals) are among thse key traits 🧵 4/8

These figures of plant extinction are well above the expected global background extinction rate. Extinction patterns aren’t random. We detected a recent coastal extinction hotspot linked to socioeconomic changes since the 1960s, which have reshaped and treated island ecosystems 🧵 3/8
