An (Un)Expected Threat for a Regionally Near-Threatened Species: A Predation Case of a Persian Squirrel on an Insular Ecosystem. [PDF]
Animals (Basel), 2022 One of the most successful predators on island ecosystems is the domestic cat, which is considered responsible for the decline of numerous species’ populations. This can be estimated by the analysis of cats’ dietary habits, yet prey identification is not always possible, and thus, in cases where precise prey identification is required, one of the most ...

A massive tsunami promoted gene flow and increased genetic diversity in a near threatened plant species [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2017 AbstractThe magnitude and frequency of disturbances affect species diversity and spatial distributions, but the direct effects of large-scale disturbances on genetic diversity are poorly understood. On March 11, 2011, the Great Tohoku Earthquake in Japan caused a massive tsunami that resulted in substantial alteration of community compositions ...

New records of the Near Threatened species <i>Ololygon trapicheiroi</i> (Anura: Hylidae)
Caldasia, 2020 Ololygon trapicheiroi is a small tree frog of the O. catharinae group which inhabits mountainous areas in the Atlantic Rainforest region of Southeastern Brazil. On 30 April 2017, in the area rural of the Municipality of Passa Vinte, State of Minas Gerais, Brazil, we observed several specimens of O. trapicheiroi.

The status and conservation of threatened and near-threatened species of birds in the Red River Delta, Vietnam [PDF]
Bird Conservation International, 1998 SummaryThe Red River Delta in northern Vietnam is an important stopover and wintering site for migratory waterbirds. During the spring of 1994, six globally threatened and five near-threatened species were observed in the coastal areas of the Delta. According to current applications of threat categories, one of the species has Critical status (Black ...

The Chestnut-banded Plover is an overlooked globally Near Threatened Species [PDF]
Bird Conservation International, 2007 AbstractSpecies that show obvious population declines are relatively easy to categorize as globally threatened under IUCN Red List criteria. However, species whose populations are highly concentrated at a few inaccessible sites that are unprotected or habitat-threatened and then disperse are more difficult to pigeon-hole.

A New Method for Low Density Distribution Modeling and Near Threatened Species: The Study Case of Plectrohyla Guatemalensis. [PDF]
Bull Math BiolAbstractWe introduce a model that can be used for the description of the distribution of species when there is scarcity of data, based on our previous work (Ballesteros et al. J Math Biol 85(4):31, 2022). We address challenges in modeling species that are seldom observed in nature, for example species included in The International Union for ...

Dead shrimp blues: a global assessment of extinction risk in freshwater shrimps (Crustacea: Decapoda: Caridea). [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 We present the first global assessment of extinction risk for a major group of freshwater invertebrates, caridean shrimps. The risk of extinction for all 763 species was assessed using the IUCN Red List criteria that include geographic ranges, habitats ...

Seed and seedling morphology of two near threatened Indian species: Cryptomeria japonica and Cupressus cashmeriana (Cupressaceae sensu lato) [PDF]
Annals of Plant Sciences, 2018 Seed and Seedling morphology of two species of Cupressaceae – Cupressus cashmeriana Royle ex Carriéreand Cryptomeria japonica (Thunb. Ex L.f.) D. Don have been studied using light microscope (LM) and scanning electron microscope (SEM). Both the species are categorized as Near Threatened (NT) in IUCN Red List Category (2013).
