Biodiversity loss is a major global challenge and minimizing extinction rates the goal of several multilateral environmental agreements. Policy decisions require comprehensive, spatially explicit information on species’ distributions threats. We present an analysis conservation status 14,669 European terrestrial, freshwater marine species (ca. 10% continental fauna flora), including all vertebrates selected groups invertebrates plants. Our results reveal that 19% are threatened with...

Much comparative research aimed at establishing differences in intelligence among vertebrates has failed to convince the sceptic, because it concentrated on a single experimental paradigm (such as learning sets), while employing diverse array of species hope rank ordering intelligence. The sceptic can insist that such not even established there are any mechanisms between pair vertebrate species, let alone elucidated nature difference, and unsceptical will doubt is ever likely establish order...

Abstract Tulips ( Tulipa spp.) are one of the most widely appreciated plants worldwide, nevertheless species taxonomy and biogeography often poorly understood. Most wild tulips inhabit mountains Central Asia, a recognised biodiversity hotspot, centre tulip diversity. Despite presence several country-level endemic species, taxa span borders nations. With no globally Red Listed from this region national level conservation assessments an important resource. Nonetheless, threats posed to still...

Abstract Forest ecosystems are rich in biodiversity and provide valuable ecosystem services, but declining worldwide. Malus niedzwetzkyana , an Endangered wild relative of domesticated apples, is important component the walnut–fruit forests Central Asia. Its iconic pink blossom genetic properties give it special cultural scientific significance, livestock grazing firewood collection threaten its survival. The conservation species native forest critical urgent. This study provides information...

A vast cross-societal effort will be needed to achieve the ambition of protecting and conserving 30% earth’s lands oceans by 2030, as called for in Target 3 Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework. While focus is often given coverage aspect this target, other elements – on location effectiveness protected conserved areas are equally important. As implementation progresses, it increasingly acknowledged that non-profit organisations, for-profit individual landowners play a key role...

Tulipa toktogulica (T. sect. Kolpakowskianae; Liliaceae) is a cryptic new species from the Toktogul area of Jalal-Abad Region, Kyrgyzstan. It similar to T. talassica, with which it shares characteristically elongated tunic, but genetically and geographically distinct. has combination morphological traits shared between closely related tetraphylla ferganica, its unique. Unlike most other members genus, this scent. here also assessed as endangered due narrow range continuing threats overgrazing.
