Abstract Freshwater ecosystems are highly biodiverse 1 and important for livelihoods economic development 2 , but under substantial stress 3 . To date, comprehensive global assessments of extinction risk have not included any speciose groups primarily living in freshwaters. Consequently, data from predominantly terrestrial tetrapods 4,5 used to guide environmental policy 6 conservation prioritization 7 whereas recent proposals target setting freshwaters use abiotic factors 8–13 However,...

Summary This is the fourth comprehensive assessment of population status all wild bird species in Europe. It identifies Species European Conservation Concern (SPECs) so that action can be taken to improve their status. are categorised according global extinction risk, size and trend range, Europe’s responsibility for them. Of 546 assessed, 207 (38%) SPECs: 74 (14%) concern (SPEC 1); 32 (6%) concentrated Europe 2); 101 (18%) but not 3). The proportion SPECs has remained similar (38–43%)...

Abstract Trade represents a significant threat to many wild species and is often clandestine poorly monitored. Information on which are most prevalent in trade potentially threatened by it therefore remains fragmentary. We used 7 global data sets birds identify or groups of at particular risk assessed the extent they were congruent terms recorded trade. frequency with as basis for prevalence score that was applied all bird globally.

Fernando, E.; Wickramasinghe, D., and V.K., 2022. An overview of vertebrate faunal diversity in Sri Lankan mangroves. Journal Coastal Research, 38(2), 429–448. Coconut Creek (Florida), ISSN 0749-0208. Lanka is rich floral communities. The mangrove forests found within the island are particularly important, being crucial habitats for endemic globally threatened vertebrates. However, a comprehensive island's vertebrates known to utilise has not yet been studied. This review uses available...

Abstract Trade represents a significant threat to many wild species and is often clandestine poorly monitored. Information on which are most prevalent in trade, potentially threatened by it, therefore remains fragmentary. We mobilised seven global datasets birds trade identify the or groups of that might be at particular risk. These sample different parts broad spectrum but we nevertheless find statistically strong congruence between them recorded trade. Furthermore, frequency with within...
