Identifying species threatened with local extinction in tropical reef fisheries using historical reconstruction of species occurrence [1]

Identifying the species that are at risk of local extinction in highly diverse ecosystems is a big challenge for conservation science. [2] Assessments of species status are costly and difficult to implement in developing countries with diverse ecosystems due to a lack of species-specific surveys, species-specific data, and other resources. Numerous techniques are devised to determine the threat status of species based on the availability of data and budgetary limits. On this basis, we developed a framework that compared occurrence data of historically exploited reef species in Kenya from existing disparate data sources.
