Near-infrared spectroscopy of AGB star candidates in Fornax, Sculptor and NGC 6822 [PDF]
Context: The Asymptotic Giant Branch (AGB) phase is characterised by substantial mass loss that is accompanied by the formation of dust. In extreme cases this will make the star no longer visible in the optical. For a better understanding of AGB evolution it is important to identify and characterise these very red AGB stars.

Search for red dwarfs among X-ray objects of the deep survey of the equatorial region of the sky using eROSITA data [PDF]
The paper presents the identification of the stars in the lower part of the Main Sequence among the objects of the deep survey of the equatorial region of the sky, performed by the eROSITA telescope at the SRG orbital observatory. Of the 27,910 X-ray objects, 110 are possibly candidates for identification with red dwarfs.

Seeing Red: Analyzing IUCN Red List Data of South and Southeast Asian Amphibians [PDF]
In the midst of the sixth mass extinction event which is currently underway, it appears that amphibians are one of the most impacted vertebrates. Over 6,500 amphibian species are listed on the IUCN Red List (an assessment tool which provides species ...

The Value of the IUCN Red List for Business Decision‐Making
The IUCN Red List of Threatened Species provides assessments of extinction risk for over 80,000 species. It has become an important tool for conservation and for informing natural resource policy and management more broadly.

Emblematic of global coral‐reef ecosystem decline, the coral ecosystem‐engineer Acropora palmata is now rare throughout much of the western Atlantic. We report for the first time, a significant record of late‐Holocene A. palmata populations that existed from ~4500 to 375 years before present in the Dry Tortugas, FL, USA.

Linear infrastructure represent a barrier to movement for many species, reducing the connectivity of the landscapes in which they reside. Of all linear infrastructure, roads and fences are two of the most ubiquitous, and are understood to reduce landscape connectivity for wildlife.

The red supergiant population in the Perseus arm [PDF]
We present a new catalogue of cool supergiants in a section of the Perseus arm, most of which had not been previously identified. To generate it, we have used a set of well-defined photometric criteria to select a large number of candidates (637) that were later observed at intermediate resolution in the the Infrared Calcium Triplet spectral range ...

Impacts of the IUCN Red List of Ecosystems on conservation policy and practice
In 2014, the International Union for Conservation of Nature adopted the Red List of Ecosystems (RLE) criteria as the global standard for assessing risks to terrestrial, marine, and freshwater ecosystems.
