The IUCN Red List Threatened Species world's most comprehensive inventory global conservation status species. It an international reference in this field, and powerful tool for endangered sites habitats. A number subterranean organisms various taxonomical groups ha...

2.2 Population There are no credible published population estimates (Powell, 1996). The species is reported to be reduced, and it is believed that several local populations have been extirpated. (However, anecdotal records continue to be reported from throughout what is believed to be the original range). The species is thought to satisfy an IUCN criterion for vulnerable status (at least a 20% ...

The giant anteater (Myrmecophaga tridactyla) is found from Belize and Guatemala to Paraguay and Argentina. Its conservation status is considered vulnerable by IUCN. Here we report the isolation and characterization of six microsatellite loci. Positive loci for (GT)(n) were isolated using a magnetic bead hybridization selection protocol. The number of alleles per locus as well as the heterozygos...

Global biodiversity decline is continuing largely unabated. The International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Red List Threatened Species (hereafter, List) provides us with the gold standard assessments, but taxonomic coverage, especially invertebrates and fungi, remains very low. Many players contribute to knowledge base, IUCN partners, IUCN-led assessment projects, Specialist Groups A...
