Summary: The study shows that 62% of molluscs endemic to hydrothermal vents are under threat, with some species fully protected while others facing threats from deep-sea mining. The relative threat index highlights greater risks at vent fields in the Indian Ocean, while vent sites within established marine protected areas have a higher proportion of species assessed as Least Concern.

Summary: Based on the assessments in 2013 and 2020, a total of 4,088 (10.39%) species of Chinese higher plants are threatened in 2020, with 2,875 (7.31%) considered Near Threatened and 27,593 (70.16%) categorized as Least Concern. The Red List Index showed different patterns in the two years, indicating effective protection for threatened plant species in China. Attention should be given to non-threatened species in the future for conservation purposes.

Summary: Regular reassessment of extinction risk is important for prioritizing conservation action. This study provides an updated assessment of extinction risk in Great Britain by using population monitoring data and citizen-science records of butterflies. The findings show that the status of butterflies in Great Britain has deteriorated and a significant number of species are threatened.

Summary: The usefulness of the IUCN Red List is hindered by the lack of data on 14% of species. This study proposes a reproducible method to help prioritize the reassessment of data-deficient species and provides a list of species likely to have sufficient data, thereby improving the comprehensiveness of the IUCN Red List.

Summary: Protected areas in biodiversity hotspots face the challenge of monitoring locally rare and threatened plant species with limited budgets. This study evaluates the effectiveness of using the Red List for prioritizing species in Table Mountain National Park (TMNP) and suggests that more in-field data and monitoring are required to prevent extinctions in protected areas.

Summary: The assessment of liverworts and hornworts in Slovakia reveals that 22.9% of the species are threatened, with the main factors being anthropogenic changes in natural conditions and degradation of ecosystems. Among them, 128 species were assessed as having no immediate threat.

Summary: Assessing invertebrate species for the IUCN Red List involves fitting statistical models to abundance data and calculating TYC estimates. The monarch butterfly assessment used models assuming constant change rates, but our analysis showed that change rates were variable. The recommended approach for evaluating monarch conservation status is to use models with variable change rates.

Summary: Fungal species are also vulnerable to the threats faced by animals and plants, and recent efforts have led to an increase in the number of published fungal assessments. The 597 assessed fungal species in the 2022-1 IUCN Red List update provide the first global review of the extinction risk and threats faced by fungi. Nearly 50% of the assessed species are threatened, with habitat loss/degradation, climate change, invasive species, and pollution identified as the primary threats.

Summary: Global biodiversity decline continues, and it is crucial to bring in new and diverse contributors to fill data gaps. Linking academia with assessment processes can enhance species assessments. Professors can integrate Red List learning into teaching, helping students develop professional networks and research skills.

Summary: The objective of this study is to provide an updated conservation status of all liverworts and hornworts in Italy, evaluating their risk categories according to IUCN guidelines. The study found that 27.4% of assessed taxa are considered threatened, with 4 liverworts extinct and 2 liverworts and 1 hornwort possibly extinct at regional level. Furthermore, 9.8% were assessed as near threatened, 10.8% as data deficient, and 49.7% as least concern. The main threats identified include natural system modifications, climate change, agriculture, and aquaculture.

Summary: Global biodiversity targets require monitoring of species at risk and quantifying biodiversity trends. This study uses the Red List Index (RLI) to analyze the conservation status of world fishes in 2010. The results show that 15.1% of sampled species are threatened with extinction, with fishing being the main threat for marine species and pollution from agriculture and forestry effluents for freshwater fishes.

Summary: This study presents a checklist for the conservation assessments of Acalypha species in South America. The assessments were based on the study of herbarium specimens and literature review. The checklist includes 87 accepted species, indicating their geographical distribution, habitat, and altitudinal range. The study also reports new country records and updates the identification of certain species. It provides a red list of 39 critically endangered, endangered, and vulnerable species.
