Assessing Biodiversity Declines Understanding human impact on biodiversity depends sound quantitative projection. Pereira et al. (p. 1496 , published online 26 October) review scenarios that have been developed for four main areas of concern: species extinctions, abundances and community structure, habitat loss degradation, shifts in the distribution biomes. are projected whole 21st century all scenarios, but with a wide range variation. Hoffmann 1503 draw results five decades' worth data...
Comprehensive assessments of species' extinction risks have documented the crisis1 and underpinned strategies for reducing those risks2. Global reveal that, among tetrapods, 40.7% amphibians, 25.4% mammals 13.6% birds are threatened with extinction3. Because global been lacking, reptiles omitted from conservation-prioritization analyses that encompass other tetrapods4-7. Reptiles unusually diverse in arid regions, suggesting they may different conservation needs6. Here we provide a...
Abstract Recognizing the imperative to evaluate species recovery and conservation impact, in 2012 International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) called development a “Green List Species” (now IUCN Green Status Species). A draft framework assessing species’ progress toward recovery, published 2018, proposed 2 separate but interlinked components: standardized method (i.e., measurement against benchmarks viability, functionality, preimpact distribution) determine current status (herein...
Abstract Exposure of human A431 squamous carcinoma cells to levels hypoxia found in some solid tumors causes 2‐fold increases epidermal growth‐factor receptor (EGF‐R) mRNA and rate protein synthesis compared with aerobic cells. Similar results are shown for message from other cells, keratinocytes, W138 fibroblasts. Less basal tyrosine phosphorylation the occurs hypoxic Scatchard analysis also shows that reoxygenated display enhanced surface expression EGF‐R control Possible mechanisms...
Common Green Iguanas (Iguana iguana) and Spiny-tailed (Ctenosaura similis C. pectinata) are native to Neotropical regions. These reptiles have been redistributed beyond their ranges primarily via the pet trade, for human consumption, or as unintended commensals in horticultural construction shipments (IUCN SSC Iguana Specialist Group, 2017; van den Burg et al., 2020a). As such, these intentional accidental releases led established uncontrolled invasive alien iguana populations >25 countries,...
Abstract: Estimates of population size are necessary for effective management threatened and endangered species, but accurate estimation is often difficult when species cryptic. We evaluated effectiveness mark–recapture techniques using the Lincoln–Peterson estimator predicting true census a tuatara ( Sphenodon punctatus ), burrowing reptile that conservation priority in New Zealand. found estimates NŇ = 85) were N 87) after only 3‐day survey. recommend this method as cost‐effective way to...
Abstract Nutrition and growth data were collected on six juvenile Komodo monitors ( Varanus komodoensis ) over 20 months. The animals captive‐bred from two separate clutches, laid 6 months apart. Three fed a rodent diet, the other three poultry‐based diet. all weighed measured weekly. Blood samples monthly. analyzed for sodium (Na), potassium (K), calcium (Ca), phosphorus (P), magnesium (Mg), 25‐OH‐D, cholesterol. Significant differences P <0.05) observed in dry matter intake (DMI) (1.12...
