In this era of a global biodiversity crisis, vascular plants are facing unprecedented extinction rates. We conducted an assessment the risk 32 species and 7 subspecies Copiapoa, genus endemic to Chile's fog-dependent coastal Atacama Desert. applied International Union for Conservation Nature Red List Categories Criteria enhanced by expert insights knowledge. Our primary aim was analyze impact trade poaching on their risk. employed machine learning models, including multinomial logistic...

Abstract The South American temperate forests were subjected to drastic topographic and climatic changes during the Pliocene‐Pleistocene as a consequence of Andean orogeny glacial cycles. Such are common drivers genetic structure adaptation. Embothrium coccineum (Proteaceae) is an emblematic tree forest (around 20°S latitude) that has strongly been affected by events. Previous studies have shown marked in this species, distinct ecotypes described. Yet, little known about their adaptive...

The South American temperate forests have been subjected to drastic past topographic and climatic changes during the Pliocene – Pleistocene linked Andean orogeny glacial cycles. These are common drivers of genetic structure adaptation process. Embothrium coccineum , a member Proteaceae family an emblematic tree forest with distribution spanning 20° latitude, has strongly affected by these changes. Previous studies shown that species presents marked distinct ecotypes described; yet, little is...
