Conservation of terrestrial invertebrates: a review of IUCN and regional Red Lists for Myriapoda [PDF]

ZooKeys, 2020
Red Listing of Threatened species is recognized as the most objective approach for evaluating extinction risk of living organisms which can be applied at global or national scales. Invertebrates account for nearly 97% of all animals on the planet but are

A comprehensive assessment of endemic Brazilian Stachytarpheta (Verbenaceae): the need for conservation efforts in campos rupestres and savannahs

Oryx
Despite significant efforts to assess conservation status, many endemic plants in Brazil remain largely unstudied, including Stachytarpheta, a genus of Verbenaceae with 90 species in the country, of which 82 are endemic.

Ex situ seed banks and the IUCN Red List [PDF]

Nature Plants, 2019
Extinct, or just extinct in the wild? Plants lost from in situ habitat, but represented in seed banks, are labelled extinct despite the potential for restoration. A change in the International Union for Conservation of Nature Red List definition of extinct in the wild is needed to improve the status and prospects of threatened plant species.

Global extinction risk assessment of soil-dependent species: recent progress and recommendations

Oryx
Soil biodiversity is crucial to the maintenance of multiple critical ecosystem functions and services. However, remarkably little is known about the conservation status of most soil-dependent species.

A method for making Red List assessments with herbarium data and distribution models for species‐rich plant taxa: Lessons from the Neotropical genus Guatteria (Annonaceae)

Plants, People, Planet, 2023
Societal Impact Statement Despite its importance, biodiversity is declining rapidly. To adequately prioritise conservation efforts, we need to know how threatened species actually are.

Origin, evolution and biogeographic dynamics of the European rabbit (Oryctolagus cuniculus) in Southwestern Europe

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract The Pleistocene is a key period for understanding the evolutionary history and palaeobiogeography of the European rabbit (Oryctolagus cuniculus). The species was first documented in southeastern Iberia at the beginning of the Middle Pleistocene and appears to have rapidly spread throughout Southwestern Europe, where it was found in numerous ...

Patterns and biases of climate change threats in the IUCN Red List [PDF]

Conservation Biology, 2017
Abstract International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Red List assessments rely on published data and expert inputs, and biases can be introduced where underlying definitions and concepts are ambiguous. Consideration of climate change threat is no exception, and recently numerous approaches to assessing the threat of climate ...

Spatio‐Temporal Assessment of Fish Biodiversity in High‐Density Cascade Dam Rivers Using Environmental DNA Metabarcoding

Biological Diversity, EarlyView.
This study employed eDNA technology for biodiversity surveys and conducted high‐density spatiotemporal eDNA sampling to evaluate ecosystem‐scale patterns across temporal, spatial, and habitat dimensions. We identified 97 fish species from 12 orders, 29 families, and 71 genera using eDNA technology. Spatially, fish diversity indices were correlated with
