River dolphins can act as population trend indicators in degraded freshwater systemsSamuel T Turvey
Institute of Zoology, Zoological Society of London, Regent s Park, London, United Kingdom
PLoS ONE 7:e37902. 2012..We also show that interview surveys can provide robust quantitative data on relative population dynamics of different species...
Postnatal ontogeny, population structure, and extinction of the giant moa DinornisSamuel T Turvey
School of Biological Sciences, University of Canterbury, PB 4800 Christchurch, New Zealand
J Morphol 265:70-86. 2005..The pattern of low fecundity and probable high longevity in both Dinornis species suggests that populations were vulnerable to loss of adults, primarily through hunting, rather than as a result of habitat destruction...
Cortical growth marks reveal extended juvenile development in New Zealand moaSamuel T Turvey
School of Biological Sciences, University of Canterbury, Private Bag 4800, Christchurch 8020, New Zealand
Nature 435:940-3. 2005..Both species of giant Dinornis moa attained their massive stature (up to 240 kg live mass) by accelerating their juvenile growth rate compared to the smaller emeid moa species, rather than by extending the skeletal growth period...
Modelling the extinction of Steller's sea cowS T Turvey

Biol Lett 2:94-7. 2006....
Late Holocene extinction of Puerto Rican native land mammalsS T Turvey
Institute of Zoology, Zoological Society of London, Regent s Park, London NW1 4RY, UK

Rapidly shifting baselines in Yangtze fishing communities and local memory of extinct speciesSamuel T Turvey
Institute of Zoology, Zoological Society of London, Regent s Park, London, UK
Conserv Biol 24:778-87. 2010..This rapid rate of cultural baseline shift suggests that once even megafaunal species cease to be encountered on a fairly regular basis, they are rapidly forgotten by local communities...
Spatial and temporal extinction dynamics in a freshwater cetaceanSamuel T Turvey
Institute of Zoology, Zoological Society of London, Regent s Park, London, UK
Proc Biol Sci 277:3139-47. 2010....
The ghosts of mammals past: biological and geographical patterns of global mammalian extinction across the HoloceneSamuel T Turvey
Institute of Zoology, Zoological Society of London, Regent s Park, UK
Philos Trans R Soc Lond B Biol Sci 366:2564-76. 2011..Although direct use of fossil data in future projections of extinction risk is therefore not straightforward, insights into extinction processes from the Holocene record are still useful in understanding mammalian threat...
Mammals on the EDGE: conservation priorities based on threat and phylogenyNick J B Isaac
Institute of Zoology, Zoological Society of London, London, United Kingdom
PLoS ONE 2:e296. 2007..The results suggest that global conservation priorities may have to be reassessed in order to prevent a disproportionately large amount of mammalian evolutionary history becoming extinct in the near future...
Using ecological niche modelling to predict spatial and temporal distribution patterns in Chinese gibbons: lessons from the present and the pastH J Chatterjee
Research Department of Genetics, Evolution and Environment, University College London, London, UK
Folia Primatol (Basel) 83:85-99. 2012....
First human-caused extinction of a cetacean species?Samuel T Turvey
Institute of Zoology, Zoological Society of London, Regent s Park, London NW1 4RY, UK
Biol Lett 3:537-40. 2007..Immediate and extreme measures may be necessary to prevent the extinction of other endangered cetaceans, including the sympatric Yangtze finless porpoise (Neophocaena phocaenoides asiaeorientalis)...
