Using historical and palaeoecological data to inform ambitious species recovery targets.

TL;DR: The case for why setting species recovery against a historical baseline is necessary to produce ambitious conservation targets is presented, and examples from palaeoecology and historical ecology where fossil and archival data have been used to establish historical species baselines are highlighted.
Journal ArticleDOI

Unshifting the baseline: a framework for documenting historical population changes and assessing long-term anthropogenic impacts

TL;DR: This work proposes a new framework for documenting such impacts, by classifying populations according to the extent to which they deviate from a baseline in the absence of human actions, and applies it to the bowhead whale to illustrate how it can be used to assess populations with different geographies and timelines of known or suspected impacts.

The 2008 IUCN red listings of the world's small carnivores

TL;DR: Among otters, seven (58%) of the 12 species for which a category was assigned were identified as threatened, and this reflects their attachment to rivers and other waterbodies, and heavy trade-driven hunting.
Journal ArticleDOI

OH-Radical Specific Addition to Glutathione S-Atom at the Air-Water Interface: Relevance to the Redox Balance of the Lung Epithelial Lining Fluid.

TL;DR: It is reported that in moderately acidic pH ≤ 5 media ·OH(g) oxidizes GSH(-)(aq) to sulfenic GSOH(-), sulfinic GSO2(-), and sulfonic GSO3(-) acids via ·OH specific additions to reduced S-atoms.
