摘要: The IUCN Red List is the most extensive source of conservation status assessments for species worldwide, but important gaps in coverage remain. Here, we demonstrate use a spatial prioritization approach to efficiently prioritize achieve increased and up-to-date efficiently. We focus on freshwater fishes, which constitute significant portion vertebrate diversity, although comprehensive are available only 46% species. used marxan identify ecoregions future that maximize while accounting anthropogenic stress. identified set priority regions would help assess one-third (ca 4000 species) all fishes need assessment by 2020. Such could be achieved without increasing current investment levels. Our suitable any taxon can ensure threat sufficiently complete guide global efforts rapidly changing world.
