  abstract = {{S}pecies-area ({SAR}) and endemics-area ({EAR}) relationships are amongst the most common methods used to forecast species loss resulting from habitat loss. {O}ne critical, albeit often ignored, limitation of these area-based estimates is their disregard of the ecological context that shapes species distributions. {I}n this study, we estimate species loss using a spatially explicit mechanistic simulation model to evaluate three important aspects of ecological context: coexistence mechanisms (e.g. species sorting, competition-colonization tradeoffs and neutral dynamics), spatial distribution of environmental conditions, and spatial pattern of habitat loss. {W}e found that 1) area-based estimates of extinctions are sensitive to coexistence mechanisms as well as to the pattern of environmental heterogeneity; 2) there is a strong interaction between coexistence mechanisms and the pattern of habitat loss; 3) {SAR}s always yield higher estimates of species loss than do {EAR}s; and 4) {SAR}s and {EAR}s consistently underestimate the realized species loss. {O}ur results highlight the need to integrate ecological mechanisms in area-estimates of species loss.},
