Genetic Identity of the Red-legged Partridge (Alectoris rufa, Phasianidae) from the Island of Madeira

Birds, 2025
The Red-legged Partridge (Alectoris rufa, Phasianidae) is a non-migrant gamebird endemic to southwestern Europe that was introduced into Mediterranean and Atlantic islands in historical times. This is the case for Madeira, Portugal, where a population morphologically assigned to A. r. hispanica has been present since the XV century. We assessed its genetic identity using 2248 (Cytochrome-b, Cyt-b + Control Region, CR) and 297 bp-long (CR) mitochondrial DNA sequences obtained from modern and archival (1900–1964, including Caccabis rufa maderensis syntypes) partridges, respectively. These sequences were compared against an already published dataset covering the entire Iberian A. rufa range. We found that all the haplotypes of modern birds from Madeira were private to this island. The putative subspecies was confirmed, and northern Portugal with northwestern Spain turned out to host the closest mainland populations. This result was in line with the origin of the first human settlers of Madeira from, among other historical provinces, Douro Litoral and Minho, the latter neighboring Galicia. Despite relatively recent A. rufa importations from continental Europe, we did not find any significant change over time in the haplotypic pattern of Madeiran partridges as well as any evidence for maternal introgression from species such as the congeneric Chukar Partridge (A. chukar). Studies relying on genome-wide markers and including the only captive-bred population of Madeira are needed to gain more comprehensive information for the management of the local A. rufa.

Range extension and first mtDNA data for the living relict Tesseropora atlantica (Cirripedia, Tetraclitidae) in the Canary Islands
Jose A. Cuesta, José A. González, Rubén Ramírez, Ricardo Araújo, Manuel Biscoito
Journal of the Marine Biological Association of the United Kingdom, 2025
Morphological examination of recently collected barnacle specimens confirms the presence of Tesseropora atlantica (Cirripedia, Balanomorpha, Tetraclitidae) along the coastlines of Lanzarote and Fuerteventura, the easternmost islands of the Canary Archipelago. This constitutes the first documented occurrence of T. atlantica in the Canary Islands and establishes a new southern range limit for this relict species in the eastern Atlantic Ocean. Additionally, 16S and COI mitochondrial gene sequences were obtained for the first time for this species, allowing comparisons with related taxa. The study also explores plausible hypotheses concerning the species’ arrival in the Canary Islands.

Global assessment of marine plastic exposure risk for oceanic birds

Nature Communications, 2023
Plastic pollution is distributed patchily around the world’s oceans. Likewise, marine organisms that are vulnerable to plastic ingestion or entanglement have uneven distributions. Understanding where wildlife encounters plastic is crucial for targeting research and mitigation. Oceanic seabirds, particularly petrels, frequently ingest plastic, are highly threatened, and cover vast distances during foraging and migration. However, the spatial overlap between petrels and plastics is poorly understood. Here we combine marine plastic density estimates with individual movement data for 7137 birds of 77 petrel species to estimate relative exposure risk. We identify high exposure risk areas in the Mediterranean and Black seas, and the northeast Pacific, northwest Pacific, South Atlantic and southwest Indian oceans. Plastic exposure risk varies greatly among species and populations, and between breeding and non-breeding seasons. Exposure risk is disproportionately high for Threatened species. Outside the Mediterranean and Black seas, exposure risk is highest in the high seas and Exclusive Economic Zones (EEZs) of the USA, Japan, and the UK. Birds generally had higher plastic exposure risk outside the EEZ of the country where they breed. We identify conservation and research priorities, and highlight that international collaboration is key to addressing the impacts of marine plastic on wide-ranging species.
A multi-taxon analysis of European Red Lists reveals major threats to biodiversity
Axel Hochkirch, Melanie Bilz, Catarina C. Ferreira, Anja Danielczak, David Allen, et al.
Plos One, 2023
Biodiversity loss is a major global challenge and minimizing extinction rates is the goal of several multilateral environmental agreements. Policy decisions require comprehensive, spatially explicit information on species’ distributions and threats. We present an analysis of the conservation status of 14,669 European terrestrial, freshwater and marine species (ca. 10% of the continental fauna and flora), including all vertebrates and selected groups of invertebrates and plants. Our results reveal that 19% of European species are threatened with extinction, with higher extinction risks for plants (27%) and invertebrates (24%) compared to vertebrates (18%). These numbers exceed recent IPBES (Intergovernmental Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services) assumptions of extinction risk. Changes in agricultural practices and associated habitat loss, overharvesting, pollution and development are major threats to biodiversity. Maintaining and restoring sustainable land and water use practices is crucial to minimize future biodiversity declines.

A holistic and comprehensive data approach validates the distribution of the critically endangered flapper skate (Dipturus intermedius)

Journal of Fish Biology, 2023
Morphological similarities between skates of the genus Dipturus in the north‐eastern Atlantic and Mediterranean have resulted in longstanding confusion, misidentification and misreporting. Current evidence indicates that the common skate is best explained as two species, the flapper skate (Dipturus intermedius) and the common blue skate (D. batis). However, some management and conservation initiatives developed prior to the separation continue to refer to common skate (as ‘D. batis’). This taxonomic uncertainty can lead to errors in estimating population viability, distribution range, and impact on fisheries management and conservation status. Here, we demonstrate how a concerted taxonomic approach, using molecular data and a combination of survey, angler and fisheries data, in addition to expert witness statements, can be used to build a higher resolution picture of the current distribution of D. intermedius. Collated data indicate that flapper skate has a more constrained distribution compared to the perceived distribution of the ‘common skate’, with most observations recorded from Norway and the western and northern seaboards of Ireland and Scotland, with occasional specimens from Portugal and the Azores. Overall, the revised spatial distribution of D. intermedius has significantly reduced the extant range of the species, indicating a possibly fragmented distribution range.
