Endangered Species
FEATURE: ENDANGERED SPECIES Conservation Status of Imperiled North American Freshwater and Diadromous Fishes ABSTRACT: This is the third compilation of imperiled (i.e., endangered, threatened, vulnerable) plus extinct freshwater and diadromous fishes of North America prepared by the American Fisheries Society’s Endangered Species Committee. Since the last revision in 1989, imperilment of inland fishes has increased substantially. This list includes 700 extant taxa representing 133 genera and 36 families, a 92% increase over the 364 listed in 1989. The increase reflects the addition of distinct populations, previously non-imperiled fishes, and recently described or discovered taxa. Approximately 39% of described fish species of the continent are imperiled. There are 230 vulnerable, 190 threatened, and 280 endangered extant taxa, and 61 taxa presumed extinct or extirpated from nature. Of those that were imperiled in 1989, most (89%) are the same or worse in conservation status; only 6% have improved in status, and 5% were delisted for various reasons. Habitat degradation and nonindigenous species are the main threats to at-risk fishes, many of which are restricted to small ranges. Documenting the diversity and status of rare fishes is a critical step in identifying and implementing appropriate actions necessary for their protection and management. Howard L.

Email: [email protected] Abstract: This checklist aims to list all the reported cyprinodontid fishes (superfamily Cyprinodontoidea/pupfishes) of the world. It lists 141 species in 8 genera and 4 families. The most diverse family is Cyprinodontidae (54 species, 38%), followed by Orestiidae (45 species, 32%), Aphaniidae (39 species, 28%), and Cubanichthyidae (3 species, 2%). Among 141 listed species, 73 (51.8%) species are Not Evaluated (NE), 15 (10.6%) Least Concern (LC), 9 (6.4%) Vulnerable (VU), 3 (2.1%) Data Deficient (DD), 11 (7.8%) Critically Endangered (CR), 4 (2.8%) Near Threatened (NT), 18 (12.8%) Endangered (EN), 3 (2.1%) Extinct in the Wild (EW) and 5 (3.5%) Extinct of the Red List of IUCN. They inhabit in the fresh, brackish and marine waters of the United States, Middle America, the West Indies, parts of northern South America, North Africa, the Mediterranean Anatolian region, coastal areas of the Persian Gulf and Makran Sea (Oman Sea), the northern Arabian Sea east to Gujarat in India, and some endorheic basins of Iran, Pakistan and the Arabian Peninsula. -

Mexico's Biocultural Diversity in Peril
SPECIAL ARTICLE Mexico’s Biocultural Diversity in Peril Omar Vidal1* & Richard C. Brusca2 1. Bosque de Granados 141, Col. Bosques de las Lomas, Ciudad de México 11700, México; [email protected] 2. Department of Ecology & Evolutionary Biology, University of Arizona, United States of America; [email protected] * Correspondence Recibido 16-XII-2019. Corregido 26-II-2020. Aceptado 27-III-2020. ABSTRACT. Introduction: Places with high species diversity have high linguistic diversity, whereas areas with low species diversity tend to have low linguistic diversity. Objective: To characterize the intriguing rela- tionship between biological and cultural diversity, a correlation that has been discussed at a global scale, but here tested for the first time in Mexico. Methods: We compiled exhaustive databases on both endangered spe- cies and endangered languages, and reviewed available literature on Mexico’s biocultural diversity with a focus on endangered and critically endangered species and languages. Results: With 364 living languages, Mexico is the world’s fifth most linguistically diverse country, but 64 of these languages are facing a very high risk of disappearance and 13 have already disappeared. Mexico is also the fourth most biologically diverse country, but 1 213 species of its flora and fauna are threatened with extinction and at least 127 species were recently extinct. Conclusions: Indigenous peoples are custodians of much of the world’s biocultural diversity. As the world grows less linguistically and culturally diverse, it is also becoming less biologically diverse. Mexico’s biological and linguistic diversity show strong geographic overlap, with the states of Oaxaca, Chiapas, Veracruz, Guerrero, and Michoacán harboring most species and most languages. -

Briefing Materials for the October 2020 Annual Meeting of the IUCN SSC Conservation Planning Specialist Group: Group Management Working Group
CPSG 2020 ANNUAL MEETING B R I E F I N G M A T E R I A L S CPSG.ORG SPONSORED BY 1 Assessing to Plan (A2P) training session Aim To provide professionals involved in the IUCN Red List assessment process and/or species conservation planning with a sound understanding of the Assess to Plan (A2P) process and the various stages of the Assess-Plan-Act framework at which it can be brought in and applied to conservation planning for multiple species. Background The IUCN SSC advocates an Assess-Plan-Act framework for ensuring that threatened species receive adequate conservation attention and for helping prevent the decline of species not yet threatened. Planning the recovery and conservation of individual species plays an important role in this, especially where those species can operate as “umbrellas” for other taxa. However, resources are scarce and the number of species requiring action is large. Therefore, planning approaches are also needed that simultaneously address the conservation needs of multiple species, by targeting for example, species that inhabit the same areas, and/or rely on the same, specific habitats and/or are impacted by common threats. The Assess to Plan (A2P) process is designed to move multiple species rapidly to effective action, by identifying groups of species with characteristics that have overlapping conservation needs that can be planned for and acted on together. The IUCN Red List database includes the required level of species-specific data for creating good multi-species groupings for planning and action. It covers geographic distribution, habitats and ecology, threats, and recommendations for conservation action needed. -
An Analysis of the Spatial Distribution of Freshwater Fishes of Mexico
An analysis of the spatial distribution of Freshwater Fishes of Mexico, their conservation status, and the development of a conservation strategy for species with imminent risk of extinction based on contemporary theories and practices. Einar Topiltzin Contreras MacBeath PhD 2014 An analysis of the spatial distribution of Freshwater Fishes of Mexico, their conservation status, and the development of a conservation strategy for species with imminent risk of extinction based on contemporary theories and practices. Einar Topiltzin Contreras MacBeath A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements of the Manchester Metropolitan University for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy School of Science and the Environment, Faculty of Science and Engineering of the Manchester Metropolitan University 2014 ABSTRACT Due to human activities freshwaters are experiencing declines in biodiversity far greater than those in the most affected terrestrial and marine ecosystems, consequently freshwater fishes are by far the most affected group of vertebrates. This situation stands true for Mexican freshwater fishes and their corresponding ecosystems. In this respect, Mexico has a long history of environmental policy, and seeking to protect its biodiversity, the country has carried out a series of important initiatives in response to the adoption of the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD), such as the creation of the National Biodiversity Commission in 1992, the elaboration of the National Biodiversity Strategy, regional action plans, as well as conservation strategies for terrestrial and marine species and environments, but unfortunately, little has been done in relation to the conservation of freshwater species, nor the ecosystems they live in. With this in mind, the main aim of this study is to analyze the spatial distribution of the Freshwater Fishes of Mexico, their conservation status, and to develop a conservation strategy for species with imminent risk of extinction.
