Pheromones and Other Semiochemicals for Monitoring Rare and Endangered Species

Journal of Chemical Ecology, 2016
As global biodiversity declines, biodiversity and conservation have become ever more important research topics. Research in chemical ecology for conservation purposes has not adapted to address this need.

Field notes on findings of threatened amphibian species in the central mountain range of western Panama [PDF]

, 2012
During field work along a transect in the Cordillera Central of western Panama between 2008 and 2010, we detected several populations of amphibian species which are considered as “Endangered” or “Critically Endangered” by the IUCN.

The complete chloroplast genome of Camellia nitidissima (Theaceae)

Mitochondrial DNA. Part B. Resources, 2020
Camellia nitidissima is an endangered species. This species contains two varieties. Here, we report on the chloroplast genomes of C. nitidissima var. nitidissima from Fangcheng (GenBank accession MT157617) and Nanning (MT157618), as well as one sample of

A Highly Sensitive SERS and RRS Coupled Di-Mode Method for CO Detection Using Nanogolds as Catalysts and Bifunctional Probes

Nanomaterials, 2020
Carbon monoxide (CO) is a commonly poisonous gas. It is important to detect CO in daily life. Herein, a new and sensitive surface enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) and resonance Rayleigh scattering (RRS) coupled di-mode method was developed for CO, based ...

The optimal timing of reintroducing captive populations into the wild [PDF]

arXiv, 2017
We examine a conservation problem in which the recovery of an endangered species depends on a captive breeding and reintroduction program. The model is applied to the case of the black-footed ferret (Mustela nigripes), an endangered species in North America reliant on captive breeding for survival.

Endangered Species, Ecosystem Integrity, and Human Livelihoods

, 2016
If efforts to conserve endangered species lack long‐term visions and neglect the human dimensions, conservation success will be questionable. Exclusion of stakeholders in decisions can lead to mistrust and polarization of groups. The story of the vaquita

Economic Growth and Threatened and Endangered Species Listings: A VAR Analysis [PDF]

We conduct several analyses to examine the link between threatened and endangered species listings and macroeconomic activity. Preliminary tests using ordinary least squares are run on both time series data on the national level and cross sectional data ...

Den Use Patterns of Endangered San Joaquin Kit Foxes in Urban Environments May Facilitate Disease Transmission

Animals
A robust population of endangered San Joaquin kit foxes (Vulpes macrotis mutica; SJKFs) occurs in the city of Bakersfield, CA. In 2013, sarcoptic mange was detected and significantly reduced SJKF abundance.

Application of environmental DNA to detect an endangered marine skate species in the wild

PLoS ONE, 2017
Environmental DNA (eDNA) techniques have only recently been applied in the marine environment to detect the presence of marine species. Species-specific primers and probes were designed to detect the eDNA of the endangered Maugean skate (Zearaja maugeana)
