The extent of threats faced by marine systems, and their resilience to them, receive considerable attention, but the detectability of marine exti...

Buchanan Old Dominion University, 2016 Advisor: Dr. Kent Carpenter Around the world, protected areas are the primary conservation measure used to combat biodiversity loss; however, these are often established without comprehensive species-specific information, leading to placement in areas that ofte...
متن کاملConus: First Comprehensive Conservation Red List Assessment of a Marine Gastropod Mollusc Genus
Marine molluscs represent an estimated 23% of all extant marine taxa, but research into their conservation status has so far failed to reflect this importance, with minimal inclusion on the authoritative Red List of the International Union for the Conservation of Nature (IUCN). We assessed the status of all 632 valid species of the tropical marine gastropod mollusc, Conus (cone snails), using R...
متن کاملThe cost of being valuable: predictors of extinction risk in marine invertebrates exploited as luxury seafood.
Extinction risk has been linked to biological and anthropogenic variables. Prediction of extinction risk in valuable fauna may not follow mainstream drivers when species are exploited for international markets. We use results from an International Union for Conservation of Nature Red List assessment of extinction risk in all 377 known species of sea cucumber within the order Aspidochirotida, ma...
