Abstract: Abstract Replying to H. M. Pereira, L. Borda-de-Água & I. Santos Martins Nature 482, 10.1038/nature10857 ; C. D. Thomas & M. Williamson Nature 482, 10.1038/nature10858 Pereira et al.1 argue that our conclusion2 that species–area relationships (SARs) always overestimate extinction is not general because the spatial configuration of landscape destruction can influence the results. Thomas and Williamson3 argue that there are many other causes of extinction besides habitat loss. We agree with the latter comment, but show that the arguments of Pereira et al. are not substantiated.
