Combining Niche Modelling, Land-Use Change, and Genetic Information to Assess the Conservation Status of Pouteria splendens Populations in Central Chile
Table 4
IUCN Red List criteria that apply to P. splendens with description of the information used in the assessment and its applicability in the present study. EOO: extent of occurrence, AOO: area of occupancy, and : mature individuals (based on Cardoso et al. [69]).
Criterion
Subcategory
Information used
Justification/decision
(A) Population reduction (over 10 years or three generations)
N/A
None
Insufficient data
(B) Geographic range
B1 (EOO < 5000 km2 OR AOO < 500 km2) AND two of (a) fragmentation and/or locations ≤ 5; (b) continuing decline; (c) extreme fluctuations
(1) Estimation of habitat lost (2) Genetic diversity analysis (3) Only two locations left (4) Estimation of future declination by future habitat lost and low natural regeneration [6]
Endangered B1ab(i, ii, iii, iv, v)
(C) Small population size and decline
N/A
None
Insufficient data
(D) Very small or restricted population
D2 < 1000 OR AOO < 20 km2 OR locations ≤ 5
Confirmation in situ, estimations of habitat lost, and available literature [2, 6]
