Fig. 3. The 18.9 in A New Sampling Protocol for the Endangered American Burying Beetle, Nicrophorus americanus Olivier (Coleoptera: Silphidae)
Fig. 3. The 18.9 liter bucket used for the majority of this study. The bucket was buried in the ground and a berm of soil (6–8 cm) was formed around the bucket lip. Bait is placed in the screen container. A plastic rain cover is placed over the bucket and supported by wood or stones. Wire screen is used over the bucket in areas with vertebrate scavenger activity.

Chromosome-level Reference Genome of the Critically Endangered Tree Kmeria septentrionalis
<p><i>Kmeria septentrionalis, </i>a critically endangered tree endemic to Guangxi in China and listed on the International Union for Conservation of Nature's Red List, suffers from a lack of genetic information and a paucity of high-quality genome data. In our study, we construct and annotate a complete <i>K. septentrionalis</i> genome at the chromosome level, assess its quality, and contextualize it with the genomic data of other relative plants. The genome is measured at 2.57 Gb with a contig N50 of 11.93 Mb. Using Hi-C guided genome assembly, we assembled 496 out of the initial 705 raw contigs into 19 pseudochromosomes that have a scaffold N50 of 135.08 Mb. The assembled 2.54 Gb anchored genome has achieved 98.9% completeness, and contains 35,927 genes, of which 94.15% could be functional annotated. </p>
Fig. 6 in Newly described and already endangered: a new mammal species endemic to Corsica
Fig. 6. Portraits and hind feet (dorsal view) of an adult female M. nustrale sp. nov. caught near Bavella, in southern Corsica (left) and an adult female M. crypticus from the Jura mountains in Switzerland (right). Notice that the latter individual has a faint line bordering the lower lip, while the former has a much more conspicuous chin spot. Wing insertion to the outer toe is, however, identical in both species. For the left individual, the wing was not stretched while it was stretched for the right individual.

PCA showing (A) the clear separation between M. crypticus (Mcry; green circles) and M. nustrale sp. nov. individuals (Mnus; blue squares), and (B), the differentiation between populations within M. nustrale sp. nov.

Fig. 5. External characters of Myotis nustrale sp. nov. Panels are close-ups of the female holotype (MNHN-ZM-2023-12), except the lower right one which is a picture from a released adult individual (Photo © Yann Le Bris). The upper left panel illustrates the stiff hairs running along the uropatagium, viewed from below. The upper right panel is the right foot with wing insertion to the base of the outer toe, in ventral view. The lower left panel illustrates the long and straight tragus and unnotched ear of the female holotype. On the portrait of the live individual, notice the black chin spot on the lower lip.

A field-validated ensemble species distribution model of Eriogonum pelinophilum, an endangered subshrub in Colorado, USA
<p>Understanding the suitable habitat of endangered species is crucial for agencies such as the Bureau of Land Management to plan management and conservation. However, few species distribution models are directly validated, potentially limiting their application. In preparation for a Species Status Assessment of clay‐loving wild buckwheat (<em>Eriogonum pelinophilum</em>), an endangered subshrub found in southwest Colorado, we ran a series of species distribution models to estimate the species' potential occupied habitat and validated these models in the field. A 1‐meter resolution digital elevation model derived from LiDAR and a high‐resolution geology mapping helped identify biologically relevant characteristics of the species' habitat. We employed a weighted ensemble model based on two Random Forest and one Boosted Regression Tree model, and the discrimination performance of the ensemble model was high (AUC-PR = 0.793). We then conducted a systematic field survey of model habitat suitability predictions, during which we discovered 55 new subpopulations of the species and demonstrated that new species observations were strongly associated with model predictions (p < .0001, Cliff's delta = 0.575). We then further refined our original models by incorporating the additional species occurrences collected in the field survey, a new explanatory variable, and a more diverse set of models. These iterative changes to the model marginally improved performance (AUC‐PR = 0.825). Direct validation of species distribution models is extremely rare, and our field survey provides strong validation of our model results. This helps increase confidence in utilizing predictions in planning. The final model predictions greatly improve the Bureau of Land Management's understanding of the species' habitat and increase our ability to consider potential habitat in planning land use activities such as road development and travel management.</p>
Data from: drones as a tool to study and monitor endangered Grey Crowned Cranes (Balaerica regulorum): behavioural responses and recommended guidelines
<p>These data detail the results of an investigation into the impact of drones and on-foot approaches on the behaviour of the endangered Grey Crowned Crane (<em>Balearica regulorum</em>). In total, 313 drone flights and 56 on-foot approaches were conducted over three different Grey Crowned Crane group types - pairs (110 flights, 26 on-foot), families (66 flights, 7 on-foot), and flocks (110 flights, 23 on-foot). Response data describe the number of birds exhibiting a particular behaviour (1 - no behaviour change, 2 - heads raised to observe surroundings, 3 - wings raised, 4 -moving away, and 5 - flying away) based on a photograph taken during the approach. Predictor data include the distance between the drone or on-foot observer and the bird grouping and a description of the group type. The number of individuals in the group can be inferred from the response data.</p>

The value of increased spatial resolution of pesticide usage data for assessing risk to endangered species: Data, notebooks, and results
<p>Decision makers often cite data quality as a limitation in environmental management. Value of information approaches evaluates the benefit of new data collection for management outcomes. Pesticide exposure risk assessment for endangered species is one context where data limitations may affect decisions and a value of information type approach could be useful for identifying optimal data <span><span><span><span><span><span><span><span><span><span><span><span><span><span><span>quality and resolution. Under the U.S. Federal Insecticide, Fungicide and Rodenticide Act, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is responsible for registering pesticides before they can be sold and regularly reviewing pesticides. Section 7 of the Endangered Species Act requires that the EPA consider potential impacts of pesticides to listed endangered species and critical habitats in this process, and for the Services—U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and National Marine Fisheries Service—to complete a formal Section 7 consultation if the EPA deems it necessary. The current process is time‐intensive, lacks transparency and confidence among stakeholders, and leaves hundreds of unreviewed pesticides on the market. Increasing the resolution of pesticide usage data could address these concerns by improving estimated overlaps between species ranges and pesticide usage. Thus, we evaluated the relative importance of different resolutions of pesticide usage data for assessing expected carbaryl exposure to endangered plant species endemic to California. We found that spatially explicit, township resolution usage data (~36</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span> <span><span><span><span><span><span><span><span><span><span><span><span><span><span><span>mile</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span><sup>2</sup><span><span><span><span><span><span><span><span><span><span><span><span><span><span><span>) excluded 33% of terrestrial plants (55/168) and 51% their critical habitats (27/53) from requiring a Section 7 consultation, while coarser resolution data excluded none. In contrast, the EPA's biological evaluation for carbaryl only excludes 4% of terrestrial plants (nationally) from requiring formal Section 7 consultation. This suggests high‐resolution data could increase pesticide review efficiency and decrease the amount of time pesticides remain on the market without a formal evaluation.</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></p>
