Collocations with extinction

eventual extinction
This was seen as an unnecessary burden on a productive countryside, and the party argued for their eventual extinction over a number of years.
extinction coefficient
The molar extinction coefficient of porphyropsin was assumed to be 0.74 that of rhodopsin.
extinction event
This is supposed to be the cause of a major mass extinction event.
gradual extinction
Hence, gradual extinction patterns prior to a mass extinction do not necessarily eliminate catastrophic extinction hypotheses.
local extinction
Apparently, species with smaller niches (= specialists) have less chance to survive deforestation and are more prone to local extinction than those with wider niches.
near extinction
Finally, perhaps of less practical interest: what is the ultimate behaviour near extinction?
on the verge of extinction
Taking this approach to its extreme, it seems that unless a musical style is on the verge of extinction, it is not authentic.
risk of extinction
Full-sib mating also results in a substantial decrease in fitness (inbreeding depression), and thus a high risk of extinction of the population.
threat of extinction
Thus, the existence of back mutations does not seem to rule out the threat of extinction.
