Prevalence of traded bird species in key biodiversity areas
Abstract The use and trade of biodiversity involve tens of thousands of species that are exploited at a range of scales, intensities, and degrees of sustainability. As a result, some are highly threatened. Key biodiversity areas (KBAs) are sites of significance for the persistence of biodiversity identified nationally based on standardized criteria ...

Evaluating the use of taxonomy in the IUCN Red List
Abstract Taxonomy defines the units that conservationists strive to preserve for future generations. However, the discovery of new species and the taxonomic revision of existing species affect conservation efforts. Despite the importance of taxonomy for a species’ conservation, there is currently no overview of how those leading species extinction risk

Behavioral interventions to reduce demand for threatened freshwater turtles as pets
Abstract Growing demand for freshwater turtles as pets has fueled illegal trade and accelerated wild population declines, underscoring the need for theory‐based demand‐reduction interventions. We conducted a three‐part randomized controlled trial with active turtle keepers (n = 1800) in China to test conservation‐ and legality‐framed messages by ...

The link between colorfulness and extinction risk across the world's passerine birds
Abstract Many of the functional traits that mediate extinction risk across the range of biodiversity relate indirectly to a species’ ability to persist in a changing world, yet certain traits such as coloration directly affect human interactions with wildlife.

Identifying hotspots of faunal data deficiency to direct urgent research and monitoring
Abstract Data deficiency is a substantial challenge for extinction risk assessments because incomplete data means we cannot accurately identify priority protected areas for conservation. Here, we use the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) distributions of amphibians, sharks and rays, fish, mammals, birds, and reptiles to identify ...

We describe the endocranial anatomy of Metacheiromys marshi. Decrease in olfaction and eye movement control occurred through time in Pholidotamorpha and is likely linked to fossorial adaptations. The development of the orbital gyrus might be related to the evolution of myrmecophagy and the emergence of a protrusile tongue in early Pholidotamorpha ...

Spatio‐Temporal Dynamics of Asian Clams in Two Mediterranean Canals
ABSTRACT The rapid spread of the non‐native invasive Asian clam (Corbicula spp.) has been linked to the catastrophic decline of native freshwater mussel assemblages in Europe and North and South America. This study evaluates the spatio‐temporal dynamics and shell size structure of the Asian clam within two Mediterranean canals: Canal Imperial de Aragón
