AB - Abstract:  We are well aware of the main mechanisms of extinction, especially those which derive from human activities. But these mechanisms tend to be studied in isolation from each other. We know much less and understand less still about the dynamic interplay between the discrete mechanisms. When we consider the likely outcome of several mechanisms operating at once, we can reasonably surmise that many of their effects will serve to amplify each other. These synergistic interactions are the subject of this exploratoy paper.
