Lichen diversity and red-listed lichen species relationships with tree species and diameter in wooded meadows

Biodiversity and Conservation, 2010
This study provides a unique large dataset of total epiphytic lichen diversity (fruticose, foliose and crustose species) and composition on 1,294 trees of 17 tree species in wooded meadows in Sweden and Estonia, the Baltic region.

Habitat diversity as a taxon-dependent tool for predicting red-listed forest species [PDF]

Forest Ecology and Management
Habitat 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.

Negative effects of climate warming on red-listed boreal peatland plant species can be mitigated through restoration [PDF]

Biological Conservation
Peatlands 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

From Red Lists to Species of Conservation Concern

Conservation Biology, 2004
Abstract:  National red lists of threatened animal and plant species prepared according to the criteria of the World Conservation Union (IUCN) adequately reflect the extinction risk of species within a country but cannot be used directly to set conservation priorities. In particular, the significance of national

Towards a ‘red list’ for crop plant species

Genetic Resources and Crop Evolution, 2005
An attempt is made toward the application of IUCN criteria and Red List Categories to agricultural and horticultural plants (excluding ornamentals). The main sources for this study were Mansfeld’s Encyclopedia (2001) and the IUCN Red List of threatened plants (2001).

Using species distribution models for IUCN Red Lists of threatened species

Journal of Insect Conservation, 2014
Red Lists have been used for years globally and regionally in many countries to highlight species that need special attention because of the rarity or rapid decline of their populations. To ensure homogenized classification at the global and regional level, the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) defined categories of threat, and ...

Application of the Red‐List Index at a National Level for Multiple Species Groups

Conservation Biology, 2013
Abstract The International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Red List Index (RLI) is recognized as one of the key indicators of trends in the status of species. The red‐list assessment done by Finnish authorities of species in Finland is taxonomically one of the most extensive national assessments.

IUCN Red List of Threatened Primate Species

2016
Abstract The IUCN Red List of Threatened Species is currently the most comprehensive source of data on the global conservation status of animal, fungi, and plant taxa. The Primate Specialist Group (PSG), part of IUCN’s SSC, is responsible for the assessment of all primates.
