The European rabbit is a common sight in some parts of the world, but in its native Spain, Portugal and southern France, the species' population has declined significantly in recent years, causing the species to become endangered. The rabbit, one of 77 species of rabbits and hares (source),...
Tokunoshima Island is located in southwestern Japan and is a biodiversity hotspot with unique biota that evolved in the absence of native mammalian predators25. On this island and adjacent Amami-Oshima and Okinawa Island, free-ranging cats prey on endangered endemic species, such as Amami rabbit (...
Here, we explore compensatory conservation measures for climate change impacts on a threatened population of a widely ranging large mammal species: the boreal caribou (Rangifer tarandus caribou) population in Gaspésie, Québec, Canada. Incorporating climate change into conservation studies is emerging as...
Accurate maps of the spatial distribution of tropical tree species provide valuable insights for ecologists and forest management. The discrimination of tree species for economic, ecological, and technical reasons is usually necessary for achieving promi
For endemic plants that are already faced with habitat fragmentation and competition by invasive species, climate change could act as a catalyst for extinction [6,9,11,12,13]. Species distribution models (SDM) are useful tools in conservation planning and management to project the effects that ...

Assessing the distribution, abundance, and population trends of individual species, communities, and whole ecosystems constitutes a core aspect of general ecology, biodiversity, and conservation research. One absolutely fundamental task for conservation is to estimate extinction risk, summarized as red list...
Sturgeons (order: Acipenseriformes, infraclass: Chondrostei) are a very ancient fish group distributed in the Palearctic hemisphere with about 25 species, most of which are considered to be on the brink of extinction [1]. Their conservation importance has led to the inclusion of all the speci...
