Conservation genomics of a critically endangered brown seaweed

Journal of Phycology, 2021
Seaweeds provide valuable ecosystem services, but many are undergoing global decline due to climate and anthropogenic stressors. The brown macroalga, Nereia lophocladia (hereafter called Nereia), is among only a handful of seaweeds globally to be listed as critically endangered and is only described from two known locations, but there exists little ...

Reproductive ecology of a critically endangered alpine galaxiid

Journal of Fish Biology, 2021
AbstractStocky galaxias Galaxias tantangara is a newly described freshwater fish restricted to a single population, occupying a 3 km reach of a small headwater stream in the upper Murrumbidgee River catchment of south‐eastern Australia. This species is listed as critically endangered under IUCN Red List criteria, and knowledge of the species’ ecology ...

Critically Endangered Algal Couture

Journal of Biodiversity & Endangered Species, 2018
Endangered species are strictly contraband within the world of high fashion couture but not for marine fashionistas. During recent surveys a decorator crab (Hyastenus sp.) was found exclusively covered in a thick coat of the critically endangered marine brown alga, Nereia lophocladia.

Inbreeding depression in a critically endangered carnivore

Molecular Ecology, 2016
AbstractHarmful effects arising from matings between relatives (inbreeding) is a long‐standing observation that is well founded in theory. Empirical evidence for inbreeding depression in natural populations is however rare because of the challenges of assembling pedigrees supplemented with fitness traits.

Critically Endangered marsupial calls residential gardens home

Animal Conservation, 2020
AbstractUrbanization is one of the biggest global threats to biodiversity. However, urban areas can offer opportunities for biodiversity conservation because of the assortment of resources and numerous taxa that occur in these habitats. While the use of gardens by animals is well documented, the ability of native fauna to exclusively use (i.e.

Conservation genomics of the critically endangered Chinese pangolin

Science China Life Sciences
The Chinese pangolin (Manis pentadactyla, MP) has been extensively exploited and is now on the brink of extinction, but its population structure, evolutionary history, and adaptive potential are unclear. Here, we analyzed 94 genomes from three subspecies of the Chinese pangolin and identified three distinct genetic clusters (MPA, MPB, and MPC), with ...

Endangered Species Act: Listing and Critical Habitat

2019
For many people, the central element of federal wildlife law is the Endangered Species Act of 1973.1 This claim of legal primacy is likely sound enough if the importance of a law is measured not by the small number of animals protected, but by the considerable controversy the law generates.

Phylogenetic diversity of endangered and critically endangered southeast Asian softshell turtles (Trionychidae: Chitra)

Biological Conservation, 2002
The intense exploitation of turtles in Asian markets has contributed to declines in turtle populations across the continent. Threequarters of Asia’s turtles are threatened and half are endangered. A recent workshop on the Asian turtle crisis identified taxonomic studies of widespread species as a priority for research because these low risk species may
