The Siberian flying squirrel ( Pteromys volans ) represents the only European Pteromyini species. Thus, it is biogeographically unique due to its specialised anatomy and biology as a volant rodent. As result of habitat fragmentation destruction, squirrels experience severe ongoing population declines throughout most their distribution. While considered Least Concern immense Eurasian distribution, this species red-listed Vulnerable even Critically Endangered in parts range. More knowledge...
The Ural owl (Strix uralensis) is a large member of the Strigidae family and inhabits Eurasian forests ranging from Germany to Japan. However, it faces increased range reduction, particularly at its southwestern distribution edges. Despite being considered "Least Concern" by IUCN, local populations have become threatened in Central Europe due severe habitat loss. Reintroduction programs aim restore these closing gaps facilitating natural recolonization suitable habitats. To support efforts,...
Illegal wildlife trade (IWT) is considered one of the largest global illegal industries that negatively impacts biodiversity and sustainable development worldwide. DNA barcoding coupled with high-throughput sequencing has been shown to be useful in identifying taxa affected by IWT routinely used during last decades. However, for countries lacking laboratory infrastructures units or trained staff, application tools conservation actions policies limited dependent on slow sample export...
We sequenced and assembled mitochondrial genomes of three tenthredinid sawflies (
