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

open access: yes, 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.

Identifying species likely threatened by international trade on the IUCN Red List can inform CITES trade measures

open access: yesNature Ecology & Evolution, 2023
Overexploitation is a major threat to biodiversity and international trade in many species is regulated through the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES).

The risks and rewards of community science for threatened species monitoring

open access: yesConservation Science and Practice, 2022
Finding ways of efficiently monitoring threatened species can be critical to effective conservation. The global proliferation of community science (also called citizen science) programs, like iNaturalist, presents a potential alternative or complement to

Are Mediterranean marine threatened species at high risk by climate change?

open access: yesGlobal Change Biology, 2022
Rapid anthropogenic climate change is driving threatened biodiversity one step closer to extinction. Effects on native biodiversity are determined by an interplay between species' exposure to climate change and their specific ecological and life‐history ...

Plant rarity in fire-prone dry sclerophyll communities

open access: yesScientific 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?

More than half of data deficient species predicted to be threatened by extinction

open access: yesCommunications Biology, 2022
The IUCN Red List of Threatened Species is essential for practical and theoretical efforts to protect biodiversity. However, species classified as “Data Deficient” (DD) regularly mislead practitioners due to their uncertain extinction risk.

The Natura 2000 network and the ranges of threatened species in Greece

open access: yesBiodiversity and Conservation, 2021
Global environmental goals mandate the expansion of the protected area network to halt biodiversity loss. The European Union’s Natura 2000 network covers 27.3% of the terrestrial area of Greece, one of the highest percentages in Europe.

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

open access: yesFrontiers 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

open access: yesEcological 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 ...
