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. rimosus. Fulvifomes boninensis is characterized by perennial basidiomata, a sulcate pileus surface

The Cinereous Vulture Aegypius monachus is a near threatened raptor that occurs in isolated populations across its range. The only comprehensive genetic study performed so far excluded samples from Turkey, although this area forms a significant part of the species' range.

The rediscovery of Brownlowia tersa (L.) Kosterm. (Malvaceae), from the Andaman Islands, India — a Near Threatened mangrove species [PDF]
Brownlowia tersa, described by C.E. Parkinson from the Andaman Islands during the 1920s, was never recollected. The present report concerns its recent collection from North Andaman and Middle Andaman Islands with updated nomenclature, detailed description and distribution notes. It is considered a near threatened species due to habitat loss.

Food and Habitat Selection ofLepus brachyurus lyoniKishida, a Near-Threatened Species on Sado Island, Japan [PDF]
Abstract. We determined the environmental requirements for Lepus brachyurus lyoni on Sado Island, Japan, during the winter when food resources are low. Hare track survey sites were classified by vegetation type. The movement distances of hares, which indicated habitat preference, were evaluated as the relative length of tracks in a 1-ha area.

The world’s most productive ecosystem, the mangrove forest, is under immense pressure due to natural and human induced disturbances. The Indian Ocean tsunami on 26 December 2004 had an adverse effect on these habitats by breaking and uprooting the mangrove trees.

In vitro propagation of Espeletia occidentalis: a strategy for the conservation and reintroduction of a near-threatened Andean species [PDF]
Abstract Frailejones (Espeletia spp.) belong to the Asteraceae family and are endemic to South America. Many species have been severely affected, leading to population declines, including Espeletia occidentalis subsp. antioquensis, a Near Threatened species endemic to Colombia.

Complete chloroplast genome of Saprosma merrillii Lo. (Rubiaceae): A Near Threaten (NT) shrub species endemic to Hainan province, China [PDF]
Saprosma merrillii is a plant of the family Rubiaceae. So far, there is no study on the genome of S. merrillii. Here, we report and characterize the complete plastid genome sequence of S. merrillii in an effort to provide genomic resources useful for promoting its conservation.

Conus: first comprehensive conservation red list assessment of a marine gastropod mollusc genus. [PDF]
Marine molluscs represent an estimated 23% of all extant marine taxa, but research into their conservation status has so far failed to reflect this importance, with minimal inclusion on the authoritative Red List of the International Union for the ...
