Extinction risk of natural populations of animals and plants is enhanced by many di!erent processes, including habitat size reduction and toxic chemical exposure. We develop a method to evaluate di!erent risk factors in terms of the decrease in the mean extinction time. We choose a population model
Aggregation of variables of a complex mathematical model with realistic structure gives a simplified model which is more suitable than the original one when the amount of data for parameter estimation is limited. Here we explore use of a formula derived for a single unstructured population (canonica
