Table 7: Species Changing IUCN Red List Status (2017-2018) IUCN Red List version 2018-1: Table 7 Last Updated: 05 July 2018 Table 7: Species changing IUCN Red List Status (2017-2018) Published listings of a species' status may change for a variety of reasons (genuine improvement or deterioration in status; new information being available that was not known at the time of the previous assessment; taxonomic changes; corrections to mistakes made in previous assessments, etc. To help Red List users interpret the changes between the Red List updates, a summary of species that have changed category between 2017 (IUCN Red List version 2017-3) and 2018 (IUCN Red List version 2018-1) and the reasons for these changes is provided in the table below. IUCN Red List Categories: EX - Extinct, EW - Extinct in the Wild, CR - Critically Endangered [CR(PE) - Critically Endangered (Possibly Extinct), CR(PEW) - Critically Endangered (Possibly Extinct in the Wild)], EN - Endangered, VU - Vulnerable, LR/cd - Lower Risk/conservation dependent, NT - Near Threatened (includes LR/nt - Lower Risk/near threatened), DD - Data Deficient, LC - Least Concern (includes LR/lc - Lower Risk, least concern). Reasons for change: G - Genuine status change (genuine improvement or deterioration in the species' status); N - Non-genuine status change (i.e., status changes due to new information, improved knowledge of the criteria, incorrect data used previously, taxonomic revision, etc.); E - Previous listing was an Error.

  • Saturday Review
    March 27, 1869. The Saturday Review. 427 THE MALAY ARCHIPELAGO. * o persons can write more charmmg books of travel than natu­ N ralists who unite to knowledge of their special subject great general powers of observation, and a fair share of literary skill. Mr. Darwin's voyage in the Beagle is a model of what such a book should be; and Mr. Wallace, whose share in supportiug Mr. Darwin's theory is well known, has written an account of his journeys in the Malay Archipelago which may be fairly put beside it. One circumstance about it is sufficiently significant. Mr. Wallace's journeys were spread over eight years, and more than six years have elapsed since his return, owing to ill-health and to the difficulties of arranging his large collections, amounting to over 125,000 specimens. Now it is obvious that had Mr. Wallace followed the example of book-making travellers, and tumbled out upon us voluminous masses of undigested diary and scientific disquisition, be might have composed a work from which the boldest reader would have shrunk in undisguised dismay. On the scale which some recent travellers have adopted, he would have filled a good-sized bookshelf. As it is, he has contented himself with two volumes of moderate size, of which he modestly says that they are" far too small for the extent of the subjects ' treated. Certainly, if it had heen his purpose to give us a hand­ book to the Archipelago, or an exhaustive disquisition upon its natural products, or even a full account of all his own ad ventures, the space would have been ridiculously small.

  • Congolius, a New Genus of African Reed Frog Endemic to The
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Congolius, a new genus of African reed frog endemic to the central Congo: A potential case of convergent evolution Tadeáš Nečas1,2*, Gabriel Badjedjea3, Michal Vopálenský4 & Václav Gvoždík1,5* The reed frog genus Hyperolius (Afrobatrachia, Hyperoliidae) is a speciose genus containing over 140 species of mostly small to medium-sized frogs distributed in sub-Saharan Africa. Its high level of colour polymorphism, together with in anurans relatively rare sexual dichromatism, make systematic studies more difcult. As a result, the knowledge of the diversity and taxonomy of this genus is still limited. Hyperolius robustus known only from a handful of localities in rain forests of the central Congo Basin is one of the least known species. Here, we have used molecular methods for the frst time to study the phylogenetic position of this taxon, accompanied by an analysis of phenotype based on external (morphometric) and internal (osteological) morphological characters. Our phylogenetic results undoubtedly placed H. robustus out of Hyperolius into a common clade with sympatric Cryptothylax and West African Morerella. To prevent the uncovered paraphyly, we place H. robustus into a new genus, Congolius. The review of all available data suggests that the new genus is endemic to the central Congolian lowland rain forests. The analysis of phenotype underlined morphological similarity of the new genus to some Hyperolius species. This uniformity of body shape (including cranial shape) indicates that the two genera have either retained ancestral morphology or evolved through convergent evolution under similar ecological pressures in the African rain forests. African reed frogs, Hyperoliidae Laurent, 1943, are presently encompassing almost 230 species in 17 genera.

  • Effects of Poaching, Habitat Destruction, and Climate Change on Nepenthes
    Effects of Poaching, Habitat Destruction, and Climate Change On Nepenthes Lucas Barron 4/27/19 Effects of Poaching, Habitat Destruction, and Climate Change On Nepenthes Lucas Barron; 4/27/2018 1 Effects of Poaching, Habitat Destruction, and Climate Change On Nepenthes When Dominick Gravine, and avid Nepenthes collector and seller, visited Borneo in March of 2013 to trek up the slopes of mount Trusmadi, he not only saw the endangered Nepenthes species that inhabit the misty slopes, but also the effects of the rapid urbanization of the local villages. He saw ‘palm oil plantations as far as the eye Dominick Gravine and his collection of Nepenthes can see.’ (-Gravine). “Palm oil plantations completely clear the land of its natural biodiversity.’ (-Gravine). “While in the local villages, I was offered many plants which were obviously taken from the wild. The locals see these plants as a source of money. The over collect and sell them to collectors.” (-Gravine) While climbing the mountains, he saw many seed stalks cut of many plants from people along the trails, which has a large impact on these plants’ ability to reproduce. Habitat destruction and excessive poaching is having a severe Nepenthes Veitchii 'Candy Dreams'; created by Dominick Gravine effect on plant species not only in places like Borneo, but also worldwide. Although many people deny human caused endangerment of plant species due to excessive poaching, reckless destruction of habitats globally, and climate change, Effects of Poaching, Habitat Destruction, and Climate Change On Nepenthes Lucas Barron; 4/27/2018 2 has a profound, and rather severe, effect on plant species globally, but especially in extremely delicate regions of the world, such as the Indonesian islands.

  • Die Larve Von Staurois Tuberilinguis BOULENGER, 1918. Eine Neue Centrolenidenähnliche Kaulquappe Aus Borneo (Anura: Ranidae)
    ©Österreichische Gesellschaft für Herpetologie e.V., Wien, Austria, download unter www.biologiezentrum.at HERPETOZOA 12 (1/2): 17 - 22 Wien, 30. Juli 1999 Die Larve von Staurois tuberilinguis BOULENGER, 1918. Eine neue centrolenidenähnliche Kaulquappe aus Borneo (Anura: Ranidae) The tadpole of Staurois tuberilinguis BOULENGER, 1918. A new centrolenid-like anuran larva from Borneo (Anura: Ranidae) RUDOLF MALKMUS & JOACHIM KOSUCH & JÖRG KREUTZ ABSTRACT The fossorial larva of Staurois natator (GÜNTHER, 1859) is the only known morphological tadpole type in the Old World, the extern-morphological characters of which are nearly identical with features of larvae of the neotropic tree frog family Centrolenidae. They are characterized by a depressed body, a long tail with reduced fins, small eyes in dorsal position, and a barely pigmented skin. They live fossorial, dwelling leaf litter at the margins of forest streams. A further centrolenid-like tadpole from Borneo is described: the larva of S. tuberilinguis BOULENGER, 1918. The larvae of S. tuberilinguis and S. natator most conspicuously differ in the number of ventral tooth rows: 6 in S. tuberilinguis, 8-10 in S. natator. In similar habitats similar selective pressures on larvae of diverse phylogentic lineages - so in spe- cies of Staurois and Centrolenidae - resulted in convergence of morphological features. KURZFASSUNG Die fossoriale Larve von Staurois natator (GÜNTHER, 1859) war die bisher einzig bekannte altweltliche Anu- renlarve, die extern-morphologisch nahezu identisch mit dem Larventypus neotropischer Baumfrösche der Familie Centrolenidae ist. Diese Larven weisen einen abgeflachten Körper, langen Schwanz mit reduzierten Flossensäumen, kleine, dorsal gelegene Augen und eine kaum pigmentierte Haut auf. Sie besiedeln Ansammlungen abgestorbenen Laubes in kleinen Rinnsalen oder am Rand von Bächen und Flüssen.
