The Worlds 25 Most Endangered Primates Wikimedia list article

The World's 25 Most Endangered Primates is a list of highly endangered primate species selected and published by the International Union for Conservation of Nature Species Survival Commission Primate Specialist Group, the International Primatological Society (IPS), and Conservation International (CI). The 2012–2014 list added the Bristol Conservation and Science Foundation (BCSF) to the list of publishers. The IUCN/SSC PSG worked with CI to start the list in 2000, but in 2002, during the 19th Congress of the International Primatological Society, primatologists reviewed and debated the list, resulting in the 2002–2004 revision and the endorsement of the IPS. The publication has since been a joint project between the three conservation organizations and has been revised every two years following the biannual Congress of the IPS. Starting with the 2004–2006 report, the title changed to "Primates in Peril: The World's 25 Most Endangered Primates". That same year, the list began to provide information about each species, including their conservation status and the threats they face in the wild. The species text is written in collaboration with experts from the field, with 60 people contributing to the 2006–2008 report and 85 people contributing to the 2008–2010 report. The 2004–2006 and 2006–2008 reports were published in the IUCN/SSC PSG journal Primate Conservation, while the 2008–2010 and 2010-2012 report were published as independent publications by all three contributing organizations.

Andamia cyclocheilus is a species of combtooth blenny which is known from a single specimen from Atjatuning, western New Guinea. The IUCN rate it as Data Deficient because its taxonomy is unclear. It is associated with reefs.

<i>Andamia expansa</i> species of Actinopterygii

Andamia expansa is a species of combtooth blenny which is known from a few specimens from the eastern Indian Ocean, with the type being collected in the Andaman Islands. The IUCN rate it as Data Deficient because its taxonomy is unclear. It forms pairs and lays adhesive eggs on the substrates.

Andamia pacifica is a species of combtooth blenny which is found in the Kerama Islands near Okinawa, Japan and is probably distributed along the Ryukyu Island chain. It is oviparous, laying adhesive eggs on the substrate, forming distinct pairs.
