Assessment of the threat status of bird species from Vietnam – Implementation of the One Plan Approach to conservation Open
Globally, 13% of the 11,188 bird species evaluated by the IUCN Red List face extinction risk, with nearly half experiencing population declines. Approximately 187 bird species have gone extinct or are suspected to be extinct since 1500. Vi…

Microclimatic Growth Rates of Batrachochytrium salamandrivorans under Current and Future Climates: A Very High Spatial Resolution SDM for Bsal and Salamandra salamandra (Linnaeus, 1758) within Forest Habitats of the European Hotspot Area Open
Chytridiomycosis is one of the greatest threats to the diversity of amphibians worldwide. Caused by the chytrid fungus Batrachochytrium salamandrivorans (Bsal), it plays a decisive role in species declines. Bsal is particularly harmful to …

Larval description of Theloderma albopunctatum (Liu & Hu, 1962) (Anura: Rhacophoridae) from Northern Vietnam, with comparison between the North-Vietnamese and North-eastern Thai clades Open
The mossy frogs of the genus Theloderma Tschudi comprise 28 described taxa (Sivongxay et al. 2016; Frost 2022), which are distributed from north-eastern India and Myanmar to southern China, across the peninsula of Indochina and Malaysia, t…

More time for aliens? Performance shifts lead to increased activity time budgets propelling invasion success Open
In the Grinnellian niche concept, the realized niche and potential distribution is characterized as an interplay among the fundamental niche, biotic interactions and geographic accessibility. Climate is one of the main drivers for this con…

Invasive risk assessment and expansion of the realized niche of the Oriental Garden Lizard Calotes versicolor species complex (Daudin, 1802) Open
Correlative species distribution modelling (SDM) can be a useful tool to quantify a species' realized niche and to predict its potential distribution for non-native ranges. The agamid lizard Calotes versicolor s.l. belongs to the most wide…

A present and future assessment of the effectiveness of existing reserves in preserving three critically endangered freshwater turtles in Southeast Asia and South Asia Open
Tortoises and freshwater turtles are among the most threatened taxa of vertebrates in the world due to consumption, urban development, agriculture, and land and water pollution. About 50% of the currently recognised chelonian species are c…

Predicting terrestrial dispersal corridors of the invasive African clawed frog Xenopus laevis in Portugal Open
Invasive species, such as the mainly aquatic African clawed frog Xenopus laevis , are a main threat to global biodiversity. The identification of dispersal corridors is necessary to restrict further expansion of these species and help to e…

Ecophysiological models for global invaders: Is Europe a big playground for the African clawed frog? Open
One principle threat prompting the worldwide decline of amphibians is the introduction of nonindigenous amphibians. The African Clawed Frog, Xenopus laevis , is now one of the widest distributed amphibians occurring on four continents with…
