				<title>New model more accurately describes migratory animals&#8217; extinction risk</title>
				<link>http://news.uga.edu/releases/article/new&#45;model&#45;migratory&#45;animals&#45;extinction&#45;risk</link>
				<description>
				<![CDATA[
					Predicting the risk of extinction is a complicated task, especially for  species that migrate between breeding and wintering sites. Researchers  at the University of Georgia and Tulane University have developed a  mathematical model that may make such predictions more accurate. Their  work appears in the early online edition of the Royal Society journal Biology Letters.

				<description>
				<![CDATA[
					While a species' extinction affects global biodiversity, its loss may  have even greater impacts at the regional level, according to a new  study by University of Georgia researchers. The crucial factor is how  closely related the lost species is to others nearby.

				<description>
				<![CDATA[
					Until credible sightings popped up three years ago, the scientific world was in agreement that ivory-billed woodpeckers had gone the way of the dodo. A new study conducted by University of Georgia researchers reveals that the ivory-billed woodpecker could have persisted if as few as five mated pairs survived the extensive habitat loss during the early 1900's.
