Extinction risk and conservation of the world’s sharks and rays
TLDR
Overall chondrichthyan extinction risk is substantially higher for sharks, rays, and chimaeras than for most other vertebrates, and only one-third of species are considered safe.

An improved method for the concentration of a slurry containing a solid particulate component is described. In the method, the slurry is contacted with a rotatable filtration assembly and some liquid…
Global Biodiversity: Indicators of Recent Declines
TLDR
Most indicators of the state of biodiversity showed declines, with no significant recent reductions in rate, whereas indicators of pressures on biodiversity showed increases, indicating that the Convention on Biological Diversity’s 2010 targets have not been met.

The Tree of Life and a New Classification of Bony Fishes
TLDR
A comprehensive molecular phylogeny for bony fishes that includes representatives of all major lineages and the order Perciformes, considered by many a polyphyletic taxonomic waste basket, is defined for the first time as a monophyletic group in the global phylogeny.

The Loss of Species: Mangrove Extinction Risk and Geographic Areas of Global Concern
TLDR
Across the globe, mangrove species found primarily in the high intertidal and upstream estuarine zones are the most threatened because they are often the first cleared for development of aquaculture and agriculture.

The Impact of Conservation on the Status of the World’s Vertebrates
TLDR
Though the threat of extinction is increasing, overall declines would have been worse in the absence of conservation, and current conservation efforts remain insufficient to offset the main drivers of biodiversity loss in these groups.
