Abstract:

The Neotropical saucer bug species Ambrysus maldonadus La Rivers and Ambrysus montandoni La Rivers originally were placed in Ambrysus Stål despite aberrant physiognomies and features inconsistent with the genus. These two species are herein transferred from Ambrysus to Carvalhoiella De Carlo and are new combinations. Further, Ambrysus (Picrops) usingeri La Rivers represents a monotypic subgenus, which is herein elevated to full generic status. As such, Picrops usingeri represents a new status for this species and a second species of Picrops from the Guiana Shield is described. In addition, the

We found the following: (i) yellow birch (Betulaalleghaniensis Britton) was the only species whose survival differed among CO2 treatments. Survival was slightly increased by elevated CO2.

Abstract:

In taxon-wide assessments of threat status many species remain not included owing to lack of data. Here, we present a novel spatial-phylogenetic statistical framework that uses a small set of readily available or derivable characteristics, including phylogenetically imputed body mass and remotely sensed human encroachment, to provide initial baseline predictions of threat status for data-deficient species. Applied to assessed mammal species worldwide, the approach effectively identifies threatened species and predicts the geographical variation in threat. For the 483 data-deficient species, th

Abstract:

Actephila lindleyi is a highly morphologically variable species. It occurs in disjunct populations in rainforests from Cape York to central New South Wales. Preliminary tests have shown variation between populations is matched by genetic variation at the enzyme and chromosome levels. Thus, taxonomic revision of this species should take this into account. Such taxonomic decisions have implications for conservation and management. For example, the overall conservation status of a widespread species with endangered populations might be much lower than the conservation status of each population wh

Abstract:

Lilium punctulatum, a taxon endemic to northwestern Yunnan, used to be considered a form of Lilium pardanthinum. It is here investigated and proposed for species rank. Morphologically, it is closest to L. basilissum and L. sealyi, but it can be differentiated by its dark red spots on pinkish petals, inner tepals margin shallowly erose or lacerate, elliptic to lanceolate-elliptic leaves and a saucer-shape perigone. This species has a narrow distribution and small population size, which makes it vulnerable to extinction, and thus it needs urgent conservation attention.

Formicivora serrana was described by Hellmayr in 1929 from specimens collected in Minas Gerais state, and subspecies F. s. interposita and F. s. littoralis by Gonzaga and Pacheco (1990) from specimens from Minas Gerais and Rio de Janeiro states and Rio de Janeiro state, respectively. According to the latter authors, interposita is intermediate both geographically and morphologically in relation to F. s. serrana and F. s. littoralis. Two years after its description, F. s. littoralis was elevated to species status (Collar et al. 1992) and it has subsequently been considered a species of conserva

Abstract:

Global Red List assessments are powerful tools for informing large-scale conservation decision-making processes, however, they can also be used to inform more localised research and conservation priorities. Here, a conservation status assessment was conducted for the marine vertebrate biodiversity of two recently designated marine protected areas in the Republic of Seychelles. International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Red List assessments were compiled and trends in data analysed for the 524 species recorded locally. Findings suggest that 5.5–23.1% of all marine vertebrate biodiver

Two-year-old Betula papyrifera and 3-year-old Acer saccharum saplings were grown under ambient (400 µmol·mol1) and elevated (700 µmol·mol1) CO2 in a glasshouse experiment. In both species, root/shoot ratios and fine root percentages (of total biomass) were unaltered by CO2 enrichment. Tissue nitrogen concentrations decreased in the fine roots, and consequently, C/N ratios increased with elevated CO2. In birch, only condensed tannins increased with CO2 enric
