Multispecies approaches to status assessments in support of endangered species classifications
Conservation Science and Practice, 2022 Multispecies risk assessments have developed within many international conservation programs, reflecting a widespread need for efficiency. Under the United States Endangered Species Act (ESA), multispecies assessments ultimately lead to species‐level ...

Conservation status, threats, and information needs of small mammals in Alaska
Conservation Science and Practice, 2022 Small mammals are under‐represented in conservation research relative to other mammals. We assessed the conservation status of 36 small mammal species in Alaska, USA using the Alaska Species Ranking System (ASRS).

First record of the “Matrinxã” Brycon amazonicus (Agassiz 1829) (Characiformes: Bryconidae) in the Rio Paranapanema mouth region, Upper Rio Paraná basin, Brazil [PDF]
Acta Limnologica Brasiliensia: The Rio Paranapanema is one of the most important tributaries of the Upper Rio Paraná, and in recent decades there has been a marked decline in the population of native species due to the development of a series of reservoirs and the introduction of ...

Imperfect detection biases extinction‐debt assessments
Conservation Science and Practice, 2021 Freshwater ecosystems have been substantially altered, threatening the survival and recovery of aquatic species at risk. Estimating the likelihood and magnitude of future extinctions (extinction debt; ED) is integral for conserving biodiversity and ...

Accelerated mass extinction in an isolated biota during Late Devonian climate changes
Scientific Reports, 2021 The fossil record can illuminate factors that contribute to extinction risk during times of global environmental disturbance; for example, inferred thermal tolerance was an important predictor of extinction during several mass extinctions that ...

Extinction risk of the world's freshwater mammals
Conservation Biology, 2023 Abstract The continued loss of freshwater habitats poses a significant threat to global biodiversity. We reviewed the extinction risk of 166 freshwater aquatic and semiaquatic mammals—a group rarely documented as a collective. We used the International Union for the Conservation of Nature Red List of Threatened Species categories as ...
