  Coextinction - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Coextinction of a species is the loss of one species upon the extinction of another.
Species coextinction is a manifestation of the interconnectedness of organisms in complex ecosystems.
While coextinction may not be the most important cause of species extinctions, it is certainly an insidious one.

 UConn Advance - October 4, 2004 - Quantitative Study Shows Extinction Threat Worse Than Predicted
It would be easy to assess the risk of coextinction if there was a strict one-to-one relationship between host species and affiliates, but the situation in nature is far more complex, with host species supporting multiple affiliates (100 and counting, for one South American ant), and affiliates that can make use of multiple hosts.
The coextinction group also describes another model, which can be used to provide at least a rough estimate of the danger to the affiliates of poorly studied species.
In addition to expanding the frontiers of ecological science, the coextinction paper has been a feather in their caps for the established researchers among its authors, like Colwell, and an auspicious start to the careers of several young scientists, including Dunn.

They add that coextinction (the loss of one species resulting from the loss of another) is a largely unexamined and potentially substantial contributor to the current global extinction crisis.
The team used a model based on known coevolved relationships between organisms such as fig trees and the fig wasps that pollinate them, and parasitic butterflies and their host ants.
While the plight of parasitic lice and mites are unlikely to attract outpourings of public sympathy, more charismatic insects are also at risk.

 When One Extinction Causes Another   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
To assess the coextinction of species (the loss of a species upon the loss of another), we present a probabilistic model, scaled with empirical data.
The model examines the relationship between coextinction levels (proportion of species extinct) of affiliates and their hosts across a wide range of coevolved interspecific systems: pollinating Ficus wasps and Ficus, parasites and their hosts, butterflies and their larval host plants, and ant butterflies and their host ants.
Applying a nomographic method based on mean host specificity (number of host species per affiliate species), we estimate that 6300 affiliate species are "coendangered" with host species currently listed as endangered.

 Study sees far deeper species extinction - Environment - MSNBC.com
The team used a mathematical model to look at what's termed "coextinction," adding the study marked the first time the phenomenon had been quantitatively estimated.
In many cases, species facing coextinction tend to be things like mites and lice.
If the 114 endangered primates were to go extinct, they said, there could also be the loss of 20 types of nematodes, 12 lice and nine fungi to depend on the primates.

'Coextinction' by PLAYERS CLUB is sorta hard to pin down as far as style goes.
The best way I can describe it is a mixture of HELMET, UNSANE, and SHELLAC.
At the end of the day this is still a very good disc.

 PLAYERS CLUB - PRESS
In 2003, they signed with Seattle’s Dead Teenager Records and Red Devil Management (Zeke, Speedealer) and released the acclaimed Regenesis in February 2004.
While their prior albums were unparalleled gems of loud rock n’ roll, Coextinction (released via Austin indie Arclight Records) is a prelude to Players Club’s magnum opus, an as-yet untitled LP due on Arclight later this year.
From the brutal chugging opening salvo “The EMP” through the likewise potent “Things You Can’t Imagine,” the oddly catchy instant classic “Safety Word,” the explosive “Flux” and the unhinged, seething closer “Song to Make You Hate Me,” Coextinction is loud, unaffected, primal, and exhilarating without conforming to any single genre or trend.

To explain this result we show that fitness is nearly randomly distributed with a slight peak in forced extinction (due to fitness) in the middle levels.
These findings lend strong support to the hypothesis that coextinction effects (propagated through a food-web) provide a robust explanation of the fossil record, independent of the mechanism for species competition.

The team, led by Lian Pin Koh of the National University of Singapore, compiled a list of 12,200 plants and animals currently listed as threatened or endangered.
"While coextinction may not be the most important cause of species extinctions, it is certainly an insidious one," the researchers added.

Last year saw the release of the Clean EP and the underappreciated Regenesis, an album so good I wouldn’t have begrudged the band if they did the same shit all over again.
But instead there’s the Coextinction EP, another step forward for this New York four-piece.
While waiting for the next full length (due this fall), I’m going to keep this one in constant rotation.

Arclight would like to welcome Brooklyn’s Players Club to the roster.
An EP, titled Coextinction, will be released this summer but you can get your copy from Arclight directly or from the band themselves at the Emissions From The Monolith Festival over Memorial Weekend.
We’re glad to add them to the family and look forward to releasing their next full length in the near future.
