Dynamics of extinction debt across five taxonomic groups

Extinction after habit loss does not occur immediately. Here, the authors develop a model and estimate how fast extinction debt is paid off after habit loss, and show a temporal profile of species diversity decays in a power-law fashion with a half-life increasing slowly with habit size and area.
