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 Simple Summary Among introduced alien species, one of the most widespread and successful predators on island ecosystems is the domestic cat. This opportunistic carnivore is considered responsible for numerous island species’ extinctions and species ...

A massive tsunami promoted gene flow and increased genetic diversity in a near threatened plant species [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2017 The 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.

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.

Mycoscience, 2022 We describe two new species of Fulvifomes based on morphological observations and phylogenetic investigations. Both species were identified as Phellinus rimosus by former mycologists, but both are morphologically distinct from authenticated specimen of P.

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 ...

Breeding biology of the pallid harrier Circus macrourus in north-central Kazakhstan: implications for the conservation of a Near Threatened species [PDF]
Oryx, 2008 Abstract We studied a breeding population of pallid harrier Circus macrourus in 2000 and 2006 in north-central Kazakhstan to evaluate the relationships between breeding parameters and breeding habitat in the species’ core breeding range. Pallid harrier nests were found in a wide variety of vegetation types and heights belonging to three main types ...
