Abstract Aim There is an urgent need to explore, characterize, describe and preserve as many species possible prevent their decline. Tropical biodiversity hotspots harbour most of the known land diversity vast amounts undiscovered undescribed species. Here, we quantify taxonomically unassessed amphibian richness in Madagascar, one best‐studied explored tropical worldwide, identify knowledge gaps conservation implications. Location Madagascar. Time Period Present. Major Taxa Studied Amphibians. Methods We used Madagascar fauna a model unveil neglected by analysing 10,873 mitochondrial sequences using delimitation algorithms incorporating all previously published bioacoustics, distributional, morphological nuclear data with integrative approach. Results Besides currently described 413 species, identified 408 divergent lineages. Among this, 310 fit category candidate pending taxonomic assessment, while 98 are considered deep conspecific These figures suggest that could be twice high represented current taxonomy. Geographically, these occur well‐studied areas within island. Main Conclusions Despite being countries worldwide for amphibians, found awaiting assessment Paradoxically, this concentrates on highly regions, emphasizing importance exploring inventorying new areas. Our results highlight magnitude Linnean Wallacean shortfalls, affecting both estimates distribution ranges biogeographic setting fauna. Current efforts should consider novel unexplored they will likely yet discovered. expect similar patterns across less studied realms encourage researchers perform such studies different clades before becomes irremediably lost.

The Americas contain highly biodiverse yet vulnerable ecosystems, with many threatened species inadequately protected. Finer-scale, localized habitat assessments are crucial for effective conservation planning, but continental-scale high-resolution vegetation maps remain limited. This study addresses this gap by identifying critical types across the using standardized framework of International Vegetation Classification (IVC) system at macrogroup level, representing finest classification available region, as well highest-resolution Area Habitat (AOH) currently birds and mammals. By combining these IVC detailed AOH maps, we highlight at-risk based on 1) macrogroup-associated (species that have least 50% their in one macrogroup), 2) current protection levels, 3) projected threats from land use changes, 4) develop a value index (CVI) accounts all factors. results highlighted remarkable diversity high macrogroups Americas, emphasizing significance regions such Andes, montane Mesoamerica, Caribbean, Brazil's Cerrado, Atlantic Forest. Among highest-scoring macrogroups, Northern Andean Montane & Upper Humid Forest emerged critically important, harboring number species. Other immediate concern include Brazilian Forest, Pacific Mesoamerican Seasonal Dry Caribbean Lowland Central Midwest Oak Woodland Savanna. However, revealed nearly three-quarters over 300 fall below global target 30% protection. Notably, fifth were species, including 40% Our findings emphasize need targeted strategies consider finer-scale classifications paired high-quality distribution data to guide biodiversity Americas.

Protected areas (PAs) are geographical spaces intended to conserve populations, communities, and ecosystems, in which species richness must be maximized, the conserved area minimized, anthropogenic pressure reduced. The present study analyzed representativeness, complementarity, degree of risk 25 garter snake genus Thamnophis PAs Mexico. This proposes that at least 17% potential geographic distribution (PGD) will found inside (Aichi Target 11) with a low human footprint (HF). PGD was associated HF layers identify where could local extirpation by activities. results indicate federal contain 85.2% species, while state 77.7% species. An average 13.4% these is PAs, two outside. In 13 10 high from total, 37% medium very footprint; therefore, their persistence risk. Compared other taxa, well represented. However, PDG more than half achieves Aichi 11.

Recent trends for rapidly establishing large protected areas demonstrate ongoing global interest in our remaining natural environments. However laudatory, these efforts rely on a significant, but uncertain assumption: that this protection will be effective. Unfortunately, many past have been ineffective due to numerous types of implementation failures. We focus one the most pervasive and notoriously difficult reasons failure - inability substantially reduce non-compliance areas. contend globally prevalent phenomenon is symptom fragmentary, reactive address compliance issues. This best addressed by developing rigorous, systematic approach management are working with team experts finalise such framework approach, which serve as first step an journey discussion, well cornerstone building community practice issue.

During the period between November 2009 and February 2010, two scientific expeditions were conducted in Bernardo O'Higgins National Park (PNBO). these fieldworks, a total of 1271 specimens collected deposited Herbarium University Concepción (CONC). To compile catalog, 10 additional locations by previous researchers added to botanical collections. The catalog comprises 261 species belonging 70 families. Among species, 203 are native, 23 introduced. classified into divisions Pteridophyta (32), Pinophyta (3), Magnoliophyta (226); within this last division, classes Liliopsida (74) Magnoliopsida (152) represented. This first floristic PNBO is great importance due park's vast territorial expanse geographical location. It contributes fundamental understanding biodiversity challenging-to-access southern territory country as whole.

While extinction risk categorization is fundamental for building robust conservation planning marine fishes, empirical data on occurrence and vulnerability to disturbances are still lacking most teleost fish species, preventing the assessment of their International Union Conservation Nature (IUCN) status. In this article, we predicted IUCN status fishes based two machine learning algorithms, trained with available species occurrences, biological traits, taxonomy, human uses. We found that higher than initially estimated by IUCN, increasing from 2.5% 12.7%. Species as Threatened were mainly characterized a small geographic range, relatively large body size, low growth rate. Hotspots peaked in South China Sea, Philippine Celebes west coast Australia North America. also explored consequences including these species' prioritization protected areas through planning. marked increase ranks subpolar polar regions despite richness. suggest integrate multifactorial ensemble assess offer more complete view endangered taxonomic groups ultimately reach global targets like extending coverage where vulnerable.
