Coextinction
Coextinction and cothreatened refer to the phenomena of the loss or decline of a host species resulting in the loss or endangerment of an other species that depends on it, potentially leading to cascading effects across trophic levels. The term originated by the authors Stork and Lyal (1993) and was originally used to explain the extinction of parasitic insects following the loss of their specific hosts. The term is now used to describe the loss of any interacting species, including competition with their counterpart, and specialist herbivores with their food source. Coextinction is especially common when a keystone species goes extinct. Causes The most frequently cited example is that of the extinct passenger pigeon and its parasitic bird lice ''Columbicola extinctus'' and ''Campanulotes defectus''. Recently, ''C. extinctus'' was rediscovered on the band-tailed pigeon, and ''C. defectus'' was found to be a likely case of misidentification of the existing '' Campanulotes flavus''. ...
