Quantifying progress toward a conservation assessment for all plants
Abstract The Global Strategy for Plant Conservation (GSPC) set an ambitious target to achieve a conservation assessment for all known plant species by 2020. We consolidated digitally available plant conservation assessments and reconciled their scientific names and assessment status to predefined standards to provide a quantitative measure of progress ...

Abstract The rapid expansion of biodiversity data presents new opportunities to understand and forecast biosphere dynamics. However, disparate and dispersed data, taxonomic and geographic inconsistencies, pervasive quality issues, and a lack of reproducable workflows hinder synthesis, introduce biases and limit accurate assessment of biodiversity ...

Anthracnose caused by Colletotrichum lindemuthianum (Sacc. & Magnus) Lams.‐Scrib. is a major disease affecting common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) crops worldwide. Response to five C. lindemuthianum isolates, classified as races 3, 6, 7, 38, and 73, were analyzed in 156 F2:3 families derived from the cross between line SEL1308 and cultivar Michigan ...

Divergence Across Niche Dimensions Reveals Species' Ecological Roles
Natural history gaps hinder our understanding of species' ecological roles and their contributions to ecosystem processes. Using an integrative framework, we analysed multiple niche dimensions of co‐occurring xenarthran insectivores, revealing divergent trophic, spatial and temporal patterns that reflect distinct ecological roles. Our results challenge

Classification of direct threats to the conservation of ecosystems and species 4.0
Abstract Identifying and assessing the magnitude of direct threats to ecosystems and species are critical steps to prioritizing, planning, implementing, and assessing conservation actions. Just as medical clinicians and researchers need a standard way to talk about human diseases, conservation practitioners and scientists need a common and ...

Abstract Foodborne botulism is caused by the ingestion of a neurotoxin (BoNT) primarily produced by Clostridium botulinum. This bacterium is classified into six phenotypic Groups, with Groups I and II being associated with human disease. BoNT are divided into seven main types with different antigenic potentials, of which types A, B, E, and F are ...

Abstract Assessing the extinction risk of species based on the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Red List (RL) is key to guiding conservation policies and reducing biodiversity loss. This process is resource demanding, however, and requires continuous updating, which becomes increasingly difficult as new species are added to the RL.

Effects of trade and poaching pressure on extinction risk for cacti in the Atacama Desert
Abstract In this era of a global biodiversity crisis, vascular plants are facing unprecedented extinction rates. We conducted an assessment of the extinction risk of 32 species and 7 subspecies of Copiapoa, a genus endemic to Chile's fog‐dependent coastal Atacama Desert.

Summary of the palaeogeographic evolution of the East Shetland Platform during the Late Palaeocene–Early Eocene. A first uplift event results in regional relative sea‐level fall (Dornoch Fm highstand to lowstand transition), potentially involving differential uplift from north to south and tilting.
