Evaluation of the conservation value and conservation difficulty of local populations of the rare plant Viola raddeana based on genetic diversity and gene expression information using next‐generation sequencers

open access: yesPlant Species Biology, EarlyView.
We evaluate the conservation difficulty and genetic diversity of populations of the rare plant Viola raddeana at five sites based on harmful gene accumulation and gene duplication data gathered using RNA‐seq. Moreover, we evaluate the genetic diversity and structure of these populations using single‐nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) data acquired using ...

Missouri Botanical Garden's cycad collection: A journey through time

open access: yesPlant Species Biology, EarlyView.
This article summarizes the history of the Missouri Botanical Garden's extensive cycad collection. Some of the specimens currently housed in the living collections date back well over 100 years. Cycads continue to face a myriad of threats in the wild, and their conservation in ex situ collections is of critical importance to assist in their survival ...

CITES Under the Lens of the IUCN Red List

open access: yes, 2017
The illegal international wildlife trade is a major threat to biodiversity by directly diminishing populations numbers. Additional threats are the potential introduction of invasive species and the spread of diseases, either due to intentional or accidental releases of confiscated animals.

The urban island: climatic suitability of Linepithema humile (Hymenoptera: Formicidae) and the role of cities in the invasion of the Western Palearctic

open access: yesIntegrative Zoology, EarlyView.
Urban environments provide favorable conditions for the introduction and spread of nonnative and invasive species like the Argentine ant, which exploit ecological and climatic homogenization in cities to overcome natural barriers. Monitoring the expansion of such species can be achieved through potential distribution models, which in this study ...
