<p>Understanding the niche and habitat requirements of useful and threatened species, their shifts under climate change and how well protected areas (PAs) preserve these habitats is relevant for guiding sustainable management actions. Here we assessed the ecological factors underlying the distribution of two multipurpose and threatened species, <i>Mimusops andongensis</i> and <i>M</i>. <i>kummel</i>, in Benin, and potential changes in the suitable habitats covered by PAs, under climate change scenarios. Fifty seven occurrence points were collected for <i>M</i>. <i>andongensis</i> and 81 for <i>M</i>. <i>kummel</i>. </p>

The first occurrence in New Brunswick of the Grey Fox (Urocyon cinereoargenteus), a threatened species in Canada, is documented based on a 4.3 kg subadult male trapped in the southwestern corner of the province. This is an approximate range extension of 135 km from the most northerly Maine occurrence and may reflect a larger North American range expansion underway since 1930-40, perhaps in response to warming climate.

<p>Los efectos del cambio climático sobre la diversidad biológica son inminentes, y resultan especialmente alarmantes para el bosque mesófi lo de montaña. Se prevé la desaparición de fragmentos de bosque y de algunas especies más características, como <em>Magnolia schiedeana</em>. México, mediante el Sistema Nacional de Áreas Naturales Protegidas, debe considerar estrategias de protección para aquellas especies en áreas naturales protegidas que resultarán afectadas a causa del cambio climático. Este estudio delimita la distribución de <em>M. schiedeana</em>, por medio del modelado del nicho ecológico, en México, y su distribución futura en dos periodos: al año 2040 y al año 2080. Los resultados muestran que los modelos de distribución tienden a desplazarse hacia el noreste de México. En el primer periodo, la distribución potencial disminuye 0.36% y, en el segundo periodo decae hasta 1.94%. Con base en la distribución potencial, se analizó la función que el Sistema Nacional de Áreas Naturales Protegidas desempeñará en la conservación de <em>M. schiedeana</em> a largo plazo, con lo cual se propone centrar los esfuerzos de conservación en las siguientes áreas naturales protegidas: (1) A nivel federal: Reserva de la Biosfera Sierra Gorda y Barranca de Metztitlán, Cuenca del Río <br />Necaxa, El Potosí, Parque Nacional El Chico, Cofre de Perote, Pico de Orizaba y Los Mármoles, y el Nevado de Toluca. (B) A nivel estatal: Cerro de las Culebras, Cerro de la Galaxia, Cerro de Macuiltepetl, El Tejar Garnica, Francisco Javier Clavijero, La Martinica, Molino de San Roque, Pacho Nuevo y Predio Barragán.</p>

Have you ever seen a fish that could do a handstand? This is the story of a quirky and primitive little fish that is famous for two reasons: walking on its ‘hands’ (pectoral fins), and being one of the first marine fish in the world to be listed as Critically Endangered on the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species. The Spotted Handfish has survived since the time of the dinosaurs – until now. Invasive seastars, pollution and climate change mean that this unique Australian is in serious trouble – hands up if you want to know more! Hold On! Saving the Spotted Handfish is perfect for primary aged readers.
