Future land use threats to range‐restricted fish species in the United States

摘要: Aim Land use change is one major threat to freshwater biodiversity, and land scenarios can help assess threats from future change, thereby guiding proactive conservation decisions. Our goal was identify which range-restricted fish species are most likely be affected by determine where these in the conterminous United States pronounced. Location United of America. Methods We focused on species, identified considered threatened based either International Union for Conservation Nature (IUCN)'s Red List or Endangered Species Act (ESA), compared their distributions patterns changes 2051 under three scenarios. Results We found that 14% had >30% distribution area occupied intensive 2001, this number increased 27 58% depending scenario. Among 57 strongly use, only 26% currently listed as IUCN List, 12% ESA. Main conclusions Our approach demonstrates value considering extinction risk assessment frameworks offers guidelines how could achieved assessments.
