Reproductive ecology of a critically endangered alpine galaxiid
Journal of Fish Biology, 2021AbstractStocky 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 ...

Inbreeding depression in a critically endangered carnivore
Molecular Ecology, 2016AbstractHarmful 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 Algal Couture
Journal of Biodiversity & Endangered Species, 2018Endangered 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.

Hybridization and Inbreeding Affect the Survival of a Critically Endangered Coral
Current BiologyCoral reefs face escalating pressures leading to unprecedented declines in the populations of reef-building corals.1,2 Conservation genomic studies are critical in understanding and formulating interventions to reverse such declines but thus far have only focused on a handful of broadcast-spawning species in shallow waters.3,4 The recent International ...

Conservation genomics of the critically endangered Chinese pangolin
Science China Life SciencesThe 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 ...

Inbreeding depression in sperm quality in a critically endangered amphibian
Zoo Biology, 2020AbstractSmall, isolated populations often experience increased inbreeding and decreased heterozygosity, which increases the potential risk of inbreeding depression. The relationship between inbreeding and sperm health is well‐documented in a variety of taxa, but has yet to be explored in amphibians.

Erysipelas in the critically endangered kakapo ( Strigops habroptilus )
Avian Pathology, 2005This paper describes the effect of a disease outbreak on the success of a translocation for conservation management in a critically endangered species. Three juvenile kakapo from a group of 19 translocated birds died within 72 h of transport between New Zealand offshore islands.

Elusive aetiology of exudative cloacitis in the critically endangered kākāpō
New Zealand Journal of ZoologyABSTRACT The kākāpō ( Strigops habroptilus ) is a critically endangered, flightless parrot endemic to Aotearoa New Zealand. While an intensive recovery programme has led to considerable successes in kākāpō conservation, management of this iconic species has been complicated ...

50,000 years of genetic uniformity in the critically endangered Iberian lynx
Molecular Ecology, 2011AbstractLow genetic diversity in the endangered Iberian lynx, including lack of mitochondrial control region variation, is thought to result from historical or Pleistocene/Holocene population bottlenecks, and to indicate poor long‐term viability. We find no variability in control region sequences from 19 Iberian lynx remains from across the Iberian ...
