The possible effects of climate change were examined taking into consideration method, taxonomic group, biodiversity loss metrics, spatial scales and time periods and it was found that the worst-case scenario could lead to a mass extinction (Bellard et al, 2012).

A scientific argument that all sections of climate change should be incorporated into island biodiversity research and management (Courchamp et al, 2014).

It was found that the ranges of invertebrates and pathogens is likely to increase due to climate change (Bellard et al, 2018).

Habitual patterns were found to not be as closely linked to species loss as previously recognised (Kerr and Currie, 1995).

A cave in Madagascar has found some fauna to become extinct despite little to no human contact, which contradictions the popular opinion that humans are the sole cause of extinction to flora and fauna (Burney et al, 1997).

Societies that have already encountered a similar danger seem to be more resistant to the same danger again and this can be applied to mass extinction (Balmford, 1996).

Comparison of native vascular plants and human activity patterns in California shows the effects of non-random patterns of habitat conversion (Seabloom et al, 2002).

There are currently no comprehensive standards for which species are at a larger risk of extinction then others (Simberloff, 1986).
