Correcting parentage relationships in the endangered California condor: Improving mean kinship estimates for conservation management
<p><span>Maintaining the existing biodiversity of endangered species is a goal of conservation management programs, and a major component of many collaborative efforts undertaken by zoos, field biologists, and conservation scientists. Over the past three decades, the San Diego Zoo has performed long-term genetic studies in support of the recovery program for the critically endangered California condor (<em>Gymnogyps californianus</em>). This work has included sex determination of hatchlings and parentage confirmation using microsatellite genotyping. This paper describes the genetic work associated with the California condor recovery program, which aims to provide a highly accurate pedigree for making informed captive pairing and release recommendations. Initial genotyping began after reintroduced California condors started reproducing, and the focus was on birds hatched from their wild-laid eggs. However, genetic analysis showed discrepancies relative to behavioral observations of wild birds, and led to the species-wide testing of all available samples. This genetic study has resolved instances of individual misidentifications and parental misassignments, verified the first cases of extra-pair paternity in this species, identified parentage where chicks were observed being raised by trios, and found two apparent de novo mutations in the captive condor population. Correcting the California condor pedigree according to genetic parental analysis has produced more accurate estimates of mean kinship values among living birds, ranking potential breeders according to their actual breeding value and helping managers to make informed decisions about captive pairing and release of condors in the wild.</span></p>

Distribution records: Reconciling biodiversity conservation and flood risk reduction: the new strategy for freshwater protected areas
<p><span><strong>Aim:</strong> </span><span>Natural disaster risk reduction (DRR) is becoming a more important function of protected area (PAs) for current and future global warming. However, biodiversity conservation and DRR have been handled separately and their interrelationship has not been explicitly addressed. This is mainly because, due of prevailing strategies and criteria for PA placement, a large proportion of PAs are currently located far from human-occupied areas, and habitats in human-occupied areas have been largely ignored as potential sites for conservation despite their high biodiversity. If intensely developed lowland areas with high flooding risk overlap with important sites for biodiversity conservation, it would be reasonable to try to harmonize biodiversity conservation and human development in human-inhabited lowland areas. Here, we examined whether extant PAs can conserve macroinvertebrate and freshwater fish biodiversity and whether human-inhabited lowland flood risk management sites might be suitable to designate as freshwater protected areas (FPAs).</span></p> <p><span><strong>Location:</strong> </span><span>Across Japan</span></p> <p><span><strong>Methods:</strong> </span><span>We examined whether extant PAs can conserve macroinvertebrate and freshwater fish biodiversity and analyzed the relationship between candidate sites for new FPAs and flood disaster risk and land use intensity at a national scale across Japan based on</span><span> distribution data for 131 freshwater fish species and 1395 macroinvertebrate species.</span></p> <p><span><strong>Results:</strong> </span><span>We found that extant PAs overlapped with approximately 30% of conservation-priority grid cells (1 km<sup>2</sup>) for both taxa. Particularly for red-listed species, only one species of freshwater fish and three species of macroinvertebrate achieved the representation target within extant PAs.</span><span> Moreover, more than 40% of candidate conservation-priority grid cells were located in </span><span>flood risk and human-occupied areas for both taxa.</span></p> <p><span><strong>Main conclusions:</strong> </span><span>Floodplain conservation provides suitable habitat for many freshwater organisms and helps control floodwaters, so establishing new FPAs in areas with high flood risk could be a win-win strategy for conserving freshwater biodiversity and enhancing ecosystem-based DRR (eco-DRR).</span></p>

Amphibian fauna of Pakistan with notes on future prospects of research and conservation
<p>The research on amphibians and their conservation efforts have gained worldwide attention, since the group includes the highest number of threatened and data deficient species when compared with other vertebrates. However, amphibians have long been neglected in <span>wildlife conservation, management decisions, policy making and research agendas in Pakistan</span>. In this paper, the annotated checklist of the 21 amphibian species of Pakistan, the key to their identification, and detailed discussions on the occurrence of variation in species including the genera <i>Minervarya, </i>and <i>Sphaerotheca</i> are provided. We found statistically significant difference in the morphometric measurements of males but non-significant difference in the females of the two forms (rusty dorsum and dotted dorsum) of <i>S. maskeyi</i>. Some genera, such as <i>Microhyla, Uperodon,</i> <i>Minervarya, Allopaa, Chrysopaa, </i><i>Euphlyctis, Nanorana </i>and <i>Sphaerotheca</i> that are found in Pakistan need additional data to compare molecular taxonomy and detailed comparisons with those found in other South Asian countries. Predicaments in amphibian research in Pakistan are discussed, gaps identified, and suggestions have been made. Although <span>the likelihood of occurrence of chytrid fungus in Pakistan is predicted to be low, the data deficiency merits studying the prevalence of the fungus, particularly in the northern regions of the country which exhibit complex and dynamic ecosystems.</span> It is recommended to conduct systematic and coordinated surveys throughout the country to build a data base on species occurrence and distribution. Additionally, monitoring of wild populations, threat mitigation, and appropriate legislation are suggested as long term measures. By adopting an inclusive wildlife conservation approach in Pakistan, amphibians could be integrated into wildlife conservation and management efforts.</p>
