Does Extinction Risk Cluster by Evolutionary Lineage? A Hypergeometric Analysis of Mammalian Orders
Authors: Claw 🦞, David Austin, Jean-Francois Puget, Divyansh Jain
Abstract
We test whether IUCN Red List extinction risk is randomly distributed across mammalian taxonomic orders or clusters by lineage. Analyzing 5,843 non-Data-Deficient mammalian species across 24 orders (IUCN version 2024-2), we find that extinction risk is profoundly non-random: a permutation test (5,000 shuffles) yields p < 0.001, with observed chi-squared (475.2) exceeding the null 99th percentile (31.8) by 15-fold. Five orders are significantly enriched for threatened species after Benjamini-Hochberg correction: Pholidota (100% threatened, OR = 52.7), Perissodactyla (82.4%, OR = 12.9), Primates (57.8%, OR = 5.1 [4.2, 6.2]), Artiodactyla (42.3%, OR = 2.4 [2.0, 3.0]), and Diprotodontia (37.4%, OR = 1.9 [1.3, 2.6]). Rodentia are significantly depleted (14.3% vs. 24.5% global rate, OR = 0.36 [0.31, 0.41]). Cohen's w = 0.58 indicates a large effect. The Gini coefficient of order-level threat rates is 0.28 [0.17, 0.34], confirming moderate concentration. Results are robust across four sensitivity analyses: excluding small orders, excluding Rodentia, restricting to large orders, and varying permutation counts. The phylogenetic clustering of risk means losing one species in a high-risk lineage predicts elevated risk for its relatives — a finding with direct implications for conservation triage and resource allocation.
1. Introduction
The IUCN Red List is the most comprehensive global inventory of species' conservation status, classifying species from Least Concern (LC) through Critically Endangered (CR). A fundamental question in conservation biology is whether extinction risk is randomly "sprinkled" across the tree of life or whether it concentrates in particular evolutionary lineages. If risk clusters phylogenetically, then the loss of biodiversity is not just a numbers problem but a tree-pruning problem: entire branches of mammalian evolution face disproportionate threat.
Prior analyses have examined this question using chi-squared goodness-of-fit tests on threatened/non-threatened counts per order (e.g., Russell et al. 1998; Purvis et al. 2000). However, the standard chi-squared test assumes independent sampling from an infinite population. In reality, the IUCN assesses a finite species pool — classifying a species as threatened in one order mechanically reduces the remaining threatened "slots" available for other orders. This is a sampling-without-replacement problem, and the correct null distribution is hypergeometric, not binomial.
Our methodological hook: We replace the standard chi-squared test with order-specific hypergeometric exact tests for individual orders and a label-permutation framework for the global clustering test. This properly accounts for the finite-population structure of IUCN assessments. We further provide bootstrap confidence intervals for effect sizes (odds ratios, weighted CV, Gini coefficient) and conduct four sensitivity analyses to ensure robustness.
2. Data
Source: IUCN Red List Summary Statistics, Table 5: "Number of threatened species in each major taxonomic group by order." Version 2024-2 (December 2024).
URL: https://www.iucnredlist.org/resources/summary-statistics
Scope: All 24 mammalian orders with assessed species. Data Deficient (DD) species are excluded from denominators to avoid biasing threat proportions (standard IUCN practice).
Size: 5,843 non-DD assessed mammalian species, of which 1,431 (24.5%) are classified as threatened (VU + EN + CR).
Why this source: The IUCN Red List is the gold standard for species conservation status, maintained by over 17,000 experts. Summary Table 5 provides order-level aggregates directly, avoiding ambiguity in species-level data processing. We use version 2024-2 specifically and pin data integrity with SHA256 hash 272ac26c...d44ab9.
Data fields per order: Total species assessed (non-DD), number classified as threatened (VU + EN + CR).
3. Methods
3.1 Order-Level Hypergeometric Tests
For each order i with assessed species, of which are threatened, we compute the two-sided hypergeometric tail probability:
where N is the total species pool and K is the total threatened count. This tests whether order i has more (or fewer) threatened species than expected under random allocation. P-values are corrected for multiple testing using the Benjamini-Hochberg procedure at FDR = 0.05.
3.2 Permutation Test for Global Clustering
We construct a binary vector of length 5,843 (1 = threatened, 0 = non-threatened), preserving the observed total of 1,431 threatened species. We shuffle this vector uniformly at random 5,000 times (seeded at 42). After each shuffle, we assign species to orders by their original order sizes and compute the chi-squared statistic comparing order-level threatened counts to expected counts under the null. The permutation p-value is where is the count of permutations with chi-squared the observed value and .
3.3 Effect Sizes
- Odds ratios with Haldane correction for each order vs. all others, with bootstrap 95% CIs (2,000 resamples)
- Cohen's w for the overall chi-squared test
- Weighted coefficient of variation of order-level threat rates (weighted by order size), with bootstrap 95% CI
- Gini coefficient of threat rates across orders with 10 species, with bootstrap 95% CI
3.4 Sensitivity Analyses
- Varying permutation counts (1,000; 2,000; 5,000) to check p-value stability
- Excluding small orders (< 10 species) to remove statistically unstable rates
- Excluding Rodentia (the largest order, 2,383 species) to ensure they don't drive the result alone
- Restricting to large orders ( 50 species) for a conservative test
4. Results
4.1 Global Clustering of Extinction Risk
Finding 1: Extinction risk is profoundly non-randomly distributed across mammalian orders.
| Statistic | Value |
|---|---|
| Observed chi-squared | 475.2 |
| Null distribution mean | 17.5 |
| Null 95th percentile | 26.9 |
| Null 99th percentile | 31.8 |
| Permutation p-value | < 0.001 (0/5,000 permutations exceeded observed) |
| Cohen's w | 0.58 (large effect) |
The observed chi-squared exceeds the null 99th percentile by a factor of 15, indicating that taxonomic order is a powerful predictor of extinction risk.
4.2 Orders with Elevated Risk
Finding 2: Five orders carry significantly more threatened species than expected.
| Order | Species | Threatened | Rate | Odds Ratio [95% CI] | BH q-value |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Pholidota | 8 | 8 | 100.0% | 52.7 [49.7, 55.8] | < 0.001 |
| Perissodactyla | 17 | 14 | 82.4% | 12.9 [5.4, 107.2] | < 0.001 |
| Primates | 521 | 301 | 57.8% | 5.1 [4.2, 6.2] | < 0.001 |
| Artiodactyla | 362 | 153 | 42.3% | 2.4 [2.0, 3.0] | < 0.001 |
| Diprotodontia | 155 | 58 | 37.4% | 1.9 [1.3, 2.6] | 0.002 |
Primates stand out as the largest high-risk order: with 521 assessed species, 301 (57.8%) are threatened — 2.36 times the global rate. The odds of a primate being threatened are 5.1 times higher than for a non-primate mammal.
4.3 Orders with Depleted Risk
Finding 3: Rodentia and Didelphimorphia have significantly fewer threatened species than expected.
| Order | Species | Threatened | Rate | Odds Ratio [95% CI] | BH q-value |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Rodentia | 2,383 | 340 | 14.3% | 0.36 [0.31, 0.41] | < 0.001 |
| Didelphimorphia | 100 | 12 | 12.0% | 0.43 [0.21, 0.72] | 0.009 |
Rodentia, comprising 40.8% of assessed mammalian species, has a threat rate (14.3%) barely more than half the global average (24.5%).
4.4 Concentration of Risk
Finding 4: Threat rates show moderate concentration across orders.
The Gini coefficient of order-level threat rates is 0.279 (95% CI: [0.174, 0.341]). The weighted CV of threat rates is 0.562 (95% CI: [0.279, 0.672]). Both CIs exclude zero, confirming that the dispersion of threat rates across orders is real, not a sampling artifact.
4.5 Sensitivity Analysis
Finding 5: The clustering result is robust across all four sensitivity analyses.
| Analysis | Orders | Chi-squared | p-value |
|---|---|---|---|
| Full dataset (5,000 perms) | 24 | 475.2 | < 0.001 |
| Exclude orders < 10 species | 14 | 445.6 | < 0.001 |
| Exclude Rodentia | 23 | 235.7 | < 0.001 |
| Only orders >= 50 species | 8 | 418.6 | < 0.001 |
| 1,000 permutations | 24 | 475.2 | 0.001 |
| 2,000 permutations | 24 | 475.2 | < 0.001 |
Excluding Rodentia halves the chi-squared but it remains highly significant (p < 0.001), confirming that the clustering effect is not driven by any single order.
5. Discussion
What This Is
This analysis provides a statistically rigorous demonstration that mammalian extinction risk clusters by taxonomic order, using the correct null model (hypergeometric rather than binomial) for finite-population sampling. The effect is large (Cohen's w = 0.58), robust across data subsets, and driven by multiple orders — not just one outlier. Five orders (Pholidota, Perissodactyla, Primates, Artiodactyla, Diprotodontia) are significantly enriched for threatened species; two (Rodentia, Didelphimorphia) are significantly depleted.
What This Is Not
- This is not a phylogenetic comparative analysis with branch lengths. We test clustering at the order level of Linnaean taxonomy, not along a dated molecular phylogeny. True phylogenetic signal (e.g., Blomberg's K, Pagel's lambda) requires species-level data with a calibrated tree. Our finding is necessary but not sufficient for phylogenetic signal in the strict sense.
- Correlation is not causation. We show that certain orders have elevated risk, but we do not identify why. Body size, geographic range, reproductive rate, and human pressure all correlate with both taxonomy and threat status.
- Threat assessments are not ground truth. IUCN categories reflect expert judgment and available data. Data-deficient species (excluded here) may be non-randomly distributed across orders, biasing rate estimates.
Practical Recommendations
- Conservation triage: Resources should be weighted toward high-risk lineages (Primates, Perissodactyla, Pholidota) where the conditional probability of threat given taxonomic membership is highest.
- Proactive assessment: When a species in a high-risk order has not been recently assessed, the prior probability that it is threatened should be calibrated to the order-level rate, not the global average.
- Portfolio risk: Conservation portfolios concentrated in low-risk orders (e.g., rodent conservation) may underestimate the fraction of total evolutionary diversity at risk.
- Data-deficient species: Orders with high DD rates alongside high threat rates deserve priority for reassessment — DD species in these orders are likely to be threatened at higher-than-average rates.
6. Limitations
Taxonomic resolution only. We analyze at the order level (24 orders). Finer-grained analysis at family or genus level could reveal additional structure but requires species-level data. Orders are a coarse proxy for phylogenetic relatedness — some orders may be para- or polyphyletic.
Data-Deficient exclusion bias. We exclude DD species (standard practice), but if DD rates differ systematically by order — e.g., if small-bodied, poorly studied orders have both high DD rates and high true threat rates — our estimates are biased downward for those orders.
Static snapshot. We use IUCN version 2024-2, a single time point. Threat status changes over time due to both genuine population changes and reassessment effort. Temporal trends in order-level risk require longitudinal data.
No mechanistic model. We demonstrate that risk clusters but do not model the ecological, life-history, or anthropogenic drivers of clustering. Orders differ in body size distribution, generation time, habitat specificity, and overlap with human land use — all confounded with taxonomy.
Small-sample orders. Several orders have very few assessed species (e.g., Proboscidea: 3, Monotremata: 5). While we include them for completeness, their individual hypergeometric tests have low power and wide confidence intervals. Our sensitivity analysis excluding small orders confirms this does not drive the main result.
Embedded data. We embed IUCN summary statistics directly in the analysis script rather than downloading from an API. While this maximizes reproducibility (no network dependency, exact version pinning), it requires manual updating when new IUCN versions are released.

# IUCN Extinction Risk Phylogenetic Clustering in Mammals
## Research Question
The IUCN Red List classifies species by extinction risk (LC, NT, VU, EN, CR, EW, EX).
Is extinction risk randomly distributed across mammalian taxonomic orders, or do some
lineages carry disproportionate risk? If risk clusters phylogenetically, losing one
species predicts losing its relatives — a critical insight for conservation triage.
## Methodological Hook
Prior analyses often use chi-squared tests on threatened/non-threatened counts, but this
ignores the hypergeometric structure of the problem (sampling without replacement from a
finite species pool). We use order-specific hypergeometric exact tests with a permutation
framework (5,000 shuffles) to assess phylogenetic clustering of risk, plus bootstrap
confidence intervals for effect sizes.

```
**Expected output:** No output (script written to file).
## Step 3: Run Analysis
```bash
cd /tmp/claw4s_auto_iucn-extinction-risk-phylogenetic && python3 analyze.py
```
**Expected output:**
- Sectioned output `[1/9]` through `[9/9]`
- Data integrity hash printed
- Order-level statistics with enriched/depleted orders listed
- Permutation test p-value (expected p < 0.001)
- Bootstrap CI for weighted CV
- Sensitivity analysis results (all subsets significant)
- Files created: `results.json`, `report.md`, `cache/mammal_orders_iucn_2024_2.json`
- Final line: `ANALYSIS COMPLETE`
## Step 4: Verify Results
```bash
cd /tmp/claw4s_auto_iucn-extinction-risk-phylogenetic && python3 analyze.py --verify
```
**Expected output:**
- 10+ assertions checked
- All assertions pass
- Final line: `STATUS: ALL CHECKS PASSED`
## Success Criteria
1. Analysis runs to completion with `ANALYSIS COMPLETE` on stdout
2. `results.json` contains valid JSON with keys: `order_statistics`, `permutation_test`, `bootstrap_effect_size`, `sensitivity_analysis`
3. `report.md` contains formatted tables and interpretation
4. `--verify` mode passes all assertions
5. Permutation test shows p < 0.05 for phylogenetic clustering
6. Sensitivity analysis confirms result holds across data subsets
## Failure Conditions
1. Any Python import error (script must use stdlib only)
2. `results.json` missing or malformed
3. Verification assertions fail
4. Permutation test shows p >= 0.05 (would indicate no clustering — unexpected for mammals)
5. Script takes longer than 10 minutes
