This single well-known and widespread butterfly is actually three species in disguise

The genus Colobura is one of the most abundant and conspicuous butterflies in Central and South America, and for 200 years, it was thought to contain a single species. Turns out there's at least three, though you have to look at their caterpillars to easily distinguish them.

#Biodiversity #Indicators: "Finding a clear signal that decreasing prevalence is usually associated with a higher risk of #extinction is a strong indication that we can detect impacts even for #species that are not currently classified as at risk."

Local species trends may flag global extinction risk, global study finds

New research from the University of St. Andrews has shown that higher extinction risk is associated with a higher frequency of decreasing local prevalence of species, in an analysis of one of the most comprehensive long-term databases ever created, BioTIME—a major tool to study biodiversity change also developed at the University of St. Andrews.

How Many Whales Does It Take To Save A Species? The Story Of The Rice’s Whale

How many whales does it take to save a species? For the Rice’s whale, the answer may be all of them. Found only in the Gulf of Mexico, this newly recognized species is already on the edge of extinction, with just 51 estimated to remain. By studying individual whales, scientists have uncovered critical insights about how Rice’s whales feed, rest, travel, and survive in one of the most industrialized marine environments in the world. Their stories are a reminder that science, not politics, must guide decisions about endangered wildlife, and that every protection matters when extinction is this close.
