Applying Red List Criteria to Classify a Described Species, Worked
Captions available
The idea
This procedure applies the IUCN Red List's classification criteria to a described hypothetical species' population and range data, drawing together this chapter's diversity-measurement and risk-classification atoms.
Where people slip
Assuming population size is the only input to a Red List classification is the error — trend and range condition are independent criteria, per Bio 3709, any one qualifying a species for an elevated category alone.
