Red List updates and the robustness of sites selected for conservation of red-listed species [PDF]
Global Ecology and Conservation, 2018 The long-term success of sites selected for species conservation depends on the persistence of target species. Red List species or threatened species lists are frequently defined as target species, but when Red Lists are updated, their species ...

The potential to use documentation in national Red Lists to characterize red-listed forest species in Fennoscandia and to guide conservation [PDF]
Global Ecology and Conservation, 2018 Loss of biodiversity is a pressing global issue, hence it is vital to facilitate informed and effective conservation. As conservation mainly operates at the level of habitats, aiming for species of conservation interest, conservation and management ...

Negative effects of climate warming on red-listed boreal peatland plant species can be mitigated through restoration [PDF]
Biological ConservationPeatlands are crucial ecosystems for biodiversity conservation and carbon storage but are largely degraded due to human impact. Climate change poses an additional threat to peatland biodiversity, affecting, for example, red-listed species. We investigate

Habitat diversity as a taxon-dependent tool for predicting red-listed forest species [PDF]
Forest Ecology and ManagementHabitat features associated with species niches are commonly used as biodiversity proxies. Such proxies usually describe habitat diversity and have seldom been evaluated in a forestry context.

Prioritizing the reassessment of data‐deficient species on the IUCN Red List [PDF]
Conservation Biology, 2023 Abstract Despite being central to the implementation of conservation policies, the usefulness of the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Red List of Threatened Species is hampered by the 14% of species classified as data‐deficient (DD) because information to evaluate these species’ extinction risk was lacking when ...

A framework for evaluating the impact of the IUCN Red List of threatened species [PDF]
Conservation Biology, 2020 Abstract The International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Red List of Threatened Species, a species extinction risk assessment tool, has been guiding conservation efforts for over 5 decades. It is widely assumed to have been instrumental in preventing species from moving closer to extinction and driving recoveries.

Are red-listed species threatened? A comparative analysis of red-listed and non-red-listed plant species in the Western Ghats, India [PDF]
, 2005 Red lists of taxa are important documents guiding the prioritization of conservation efforts. However the actual process of arriving at red lists has been contentious, because of the paucity of hard ecological data.
