Fulfordianthus evansii (Fulf.) Gradst. | |
Fulfordianthus evansii is a species of liverworts in the family Lejeuneaceae. It is found in Belize, Costa Rica, possibly Guatemala, and possibly Panama. Its natural habitat is subtropical or tropical moist lowland forests.
The International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Red List of Threatened Species, founded in 1964, is the world's most comprehensive inventory of the global conservation status of biological species. It uses a set of precise criteria to evaluate the extinction risk of thousands of species and subspecies. These criteria are relevant to all species and all regions of the world. With its strong scientific base, the IUCN Red List is recognized as the most authoritative guide to the status of biological diversity. A series of Regional Red Lists are produced by countries or organizations, which assess the risk of extinction to species within a political management unit.
A booby is a seabird in the genus Sula, part of the family Sulidae. Boobies are closely related to the gannets (Morus), which were formerly included in Sula.
The piebald shrew is a shrew found in the Turan Lowland east of the Caspian Sea in Iran, Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan. It grows to 2–23⁄4 inches in length, and usually hunts for insects and lizards at night. It is the only extant member of the genus Diplomesodon. In 2011, A. Cheke described a new and possibly extinct species based on a 19th-century manuscript: Diplomesodon sonnerati. It was described again in 2018 to meet certain validity requirements of the ICZN code.
An IUCN Red List Critically Endangered (CR) species is one that has been categorized by the International Union for Conservation of Nature as facing an extremely high risk of extinction in the wild. As of 2021, of the 120,372 species currently tracked by the IUCN, there are 6,811 species that are considered to be Critically Endangered.
A species that is extinct in the wild (EW) is one that has been categorized by the International Union for Conservation of Nature as known only by living members kept in captivity or as a naturalized population outside its historic range due to massive habitat loss.
The Guinean grass rat is a species of rodent in the family Muridae. It is found in Benin, Ghana, Togo, possibly Cameroon, possibly Central African Republic, possibly Ivory Coast, possibly Guinea, possibly Liberia, and possibly Sierra Leone. Its natural habitats are moist savanna, subtropical or tropical dry shrubland, subtropical or tropical moist shrubland, arable land, pastureland, and urban areas.
Hyperolius mosaicus is a species of frog in the family Hyperoliidae. It is found in Cameroon and Gabon, presumably also in the Republic of the Congo and Equatorial Guinea, and possibly in the western Central African Republic. Its natural habitat is tropical moist lowland forests. It is an uncommon, strictly arboreal species that breeds using water in tree holes. Presumably, it is threatened by habitat loss caused by logging, agriculture, and human settlements.
The Japanese pond turtle is a species of turtle in the family Geoemydidae endemic to Japan. Its Japanese name is nihon ishigame, Japanese stone turtle. Its population has decreased somewhat due to habitat loss, but it is not yet considered a threatened species.
Doucet's musk shrew is a species of mammal in the family Soricidae. It is found in Ivory Coast, Liberia, and possibly Nigeria. Its natural habitat is subtropical or tropical dry forests.
The Siberian shrew is a species of mammal in the family Soricidae. It is found in Russia, possibly China, and possibly Mongolia.
The Honduran small-eared shrew is a species of mammal in the family Soricidae. It is found in Honduras and possibly in El Salvador, Guatemala, and Nicaragua.
The thin mouse shrew is a species of mammal in the family Soricidae found in South Africa and possibly Mozambique.
The Transcaucasian water shrew is a species of mammal in the family Soricidae. It is found in Armenia, Azerbaijan, Georgia, and possibly Iran and Turkey.
The Caucasian pygmy shrew or Ukrainian shrew is a species of mammal in the family Soricidae. It is found in Armenia, Azerbaijan, Georgia (country), Russia, Ukraine, possibly Iran, and possibly Turkey.
The Himalayan pika is a species of small mammal in the pika family (Ochotonidae). It is found at high altitudes in remote areas of Tibet, Uttarakhand and possibly also in Nepal. The IUCN has listed this species as being of "least concern".
The quadrate pebblesnail, scientific name Somatogyrus quadratus, is a species of small freshwater snail with a gill and an operculum, an aquatic gastropod mollusk in the family Hydrobiidae. This species is endemic to the United States. Its natural habitat is rivers. This species is possibly extinct because there is no recent survey information. It is known to have had a very restricted distribution and there had been a habitat disturbance. This species was endemic to the Tennessee River system and was known to exist from Muscle Shoals and adjacent Shoal Creek, Lauderdale County, Alabama. It has not been reported since the river was impounded. Based on the fact that the species has not been observed since the dams were constructed, it is widely believed that that change in habitat possibly caused the species's extinction.
Fulfordianthus is a genus of liverworts in the family Lejeuneaceae. It contains the following species :
Gladiolus pole-evansii is a species of plant in the family Iridaceae. It is endemic to the Mpumalanga province of South Africa. Its natural habitat is subtropical or tropical dry shrubland.
The Amazonian brown brocket, also known as the small brown brocket, is a small species of deer that is almost entirely restricted to South America.
