Abstract
⺠We compare current and historic geographic range size as extinction risk predictors. ⺠Current range size strongly predicts risk while historic range size does not. ⺠Latent extinction risk is underestimated from models based on current range size. ⺠Current range size as a predictor of species decline rates suffers from circularity. ⺠Small range size is not inherently linked with rapid rates of decline.
