SEC now 'live'



Species Extinction Calculator
www.SpeciesExtinctionCalculator.com

The Species Extinction Calculator is a freeware jointly produced by Odeon Consulting Group (a software develpment team) and Lian Pin Koh. The SEC illustrates the use of a mathematical model recently developed by Lian Pin that estimates species extinction risk due to land cover changes in a landscape, including alterations of non-forest habitats within the landscape matrix. Details of this model can be found in Conservation Biology and Journal of Applied Ecology.
