Predictive framework for assessing extinction risk. (a) The vulnerability of coral reef fish species populations to climate change disturbances (coral bleaching and mortality) against the risk that population decline is catastrophic and leads to species extinction. The vertical axis is an expert-weighted composite index including information on species specialization on coral and reef habitat for (1) diet, (2) habitat use and (3) settlement, and also including information on (4) species body size. The horizontal axis is an expert-weighted composite index of extinction risk and includes information on (1) geographical range size, (2) depth range, (3) occupancy and (4) numerical rarity. (b) Species data applied to the framework for 134 species of coral reef fishes in eight functional groups.
