Two new species of <i>Fulvifomes</i> (<i>Basidiomycota</i>, <i>Hymenochaetaceae</i>) on threatened or near threatened tree species in Japan

open access: diamondMycoscience, 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. rimosus. Fulvifomes boninensis is characterized by perennial basidiomata, a sulcate pileus surface

Extremely Low Mitochondrial DNA Diversity in a near Threatened Species, the Cinereous Vulture Aegypius monachus in Turkey

open access: greenArdea, 2019
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]

open access: goldCheck List, 2016
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]

open access: greenMammal Study, 2010
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.

Sonneratia ovata Backer (Lythraceae): status and distribution of a Near Threatened mangrove species in tsunami impacted mangrove habitats of Nicobar Islands, India

open access: goldJournal of Threatened Taxa, 2012
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]

open access: hybridPlant Cell, Tissue and Organ Culture (PCTOC)
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.

Conus: first comprehensive conservation red list assessment of a marine gastropod mollusc genus. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2013
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 ...
