Climate change has emerged as the main threat to global biodiversity and even the protected areas (PAs) are not immune to this problem. Here, we have focused on PAs with the aim of assessing the impacts of climate change on their habitat suitability and their effectiveness to protect threatened species, in this case three endemic Spanish plants: Is...

Astragalus devesae Talavera, A. González & G. López (Fabaceae) is a threatened Hispanic endemic species whose distribution is restricted to the center of Spain (the province of Ávila). It is classified as “Critically Endangered” in the 2010 List of Threatened Spanish Vascular Flora and as “Endangered” in the “Decree 63/2007” of Castile and Leon (ad...

The performance of populations at the edge of specie’s distribution range may differ substantially from central populations. Here, we develop a modelling framework to estimate ecological niches (i.e. climatic) of four locally endangered plant species and measure the distance of marginal (geographically) populations to the species’ niche centroid in...

Estratégias para conter o declínio da biodiversidade incluem: a conservação in situ e a conservação ex situ. O Banco de Germoplasma da Universidade de Salamanca (BG-USAL) realiza estudos com espécies ameaçadas da flora regional em duas linhas de pesquisa: melhora germinativa e conservação de sementes em longo prazo. Os objetivos deste trabalho fora...

As part of the project ”Technical Assistance for Germplasm Collection and Development of Protocols for Ex Situ Management of Protected Plants in Spain” (TRAGSATEC), the Germplasm Bank of the University of Salamanca (BG USAL) has carried out germplasm study and collection of the germplasm of four species of flora included in the Wild Species in Spec...

Una de las especies de mayor interés en Castilla y León es Astragalus devesae Talavera, A. González & G. López, endemismo abulense catalogado en «Peligro Crítico» según el Atlas y Libro Rojo de la Flora Vascular Amenazada de España de 2008 y 2010 y en «Peligro de Extinción» según el Decreto 63/2007 de Castilla y León. Astragalus devesae es una espe...

Se presentan en este trabajo los resultados de las respuestas germinativas de Carex lainzii Luceño, E. Rico & T. Romero, ciperácea catalogada como en peligro de extinción en Castilla y León, a diferentes ensayos llevados a cabo en laboratorio con semillas recolectadas en las dos únicas poblaciones conocidas de esa comunidad. Se testaron tratamiento...
