Genetic effects of long-term captive breeding on the endangered pygmy hog [PDF]

PeerJ, 2021
Long-term captive populations often accumulate genetic changes that are detrimental to their survival in the wild. Periodic genetic evaluation of captive populations is thus necessary to identify deleterious changes and minimize their impact through ...

Predicting the Impact of Climate Change on Threatened Species in UK Waters [PDF]

, 2013
Global climate change is affecting the distribution of marine species and is thought to represent a threat to biodiversity. Previous studies project expansion of species range for some species and local extinction elsewhere under climate change.

Plant rarity in fire-prone dry sclerophyll communities

Scientific Reports, 2022
Understanding the responses of rare species to altered fire disturbance regimes is an ongoing challenge for ecologists. We asked: are there associations between fire regimes and plant rarity across different vegetation communities?

Feral cats use fine scale prey cues and microhabitat patches of dense vegetation when hunting prey in arid Australia

Global Ecology and Conservation, 2022
Introduced predators are one of the leading causes of decline in island vertebrates. Understanding how they hunt and kill threatened prey can help improve management activities.

Protected Areas and Endemic Freshwater Fishes of the Cape Fold Ecoregion: Missing the Boat for Fish Conservation?

Frontiers in Environmental Science, 2020
Freshwater systems and their associated biodiversity are among the most threatened ecosystems globally. The greatest threats to freshwater fishes are the introduction and spread of non-native species, pollution, habitat degradation and loss, and ...

Island characteristics and sampling methodologies influence the use of stable isotopes as an ecosystem function assessment tool

Ecological Solutions and Evidence, 2021
Monitoring seabird‐derived nutrients on islands following invasive mammal eradications may provide a useful, cost‐ and time‐efficient indication of the recovery of ecosystem function; however, the technique has only been investigated on environmentally ...

Taxonomic research priorities for the conservation of the South African flora

South African Journal of Science, 2013
Taxonomic revisions, monographs and floras are the most important, and often the only source of data for assessing the extinction risk of plants, with recent revisions contributing to more accurate assessments.

How to ensure threatened species monitoring leads to threatened species conservation [PDF]

Ecological Management & Restoration, 2018
SummaryMonitoring is essential for effective conservation and management of threatened species and ecological communities. However, more often than not, threatened species monitoring is poorly implemented, meaning that conservation decisions are not informed by the best available knowledge. We outline challenges and provide best‐practice guidelines for

Green Plants in the Red: A Baseline Global Assessment for the IUCN Sampled Red List Index for Plants [PDF]

, 2015
Plants provide fundamental support systems for life on Earth and are the basis for all terrestrial ecosystems; a decline in plant diversity will be detrimental to all other groups of organisms including humans. Decline in plant diversity has been hard to
