xCarpathian List Of Endangered SpeciesIntroductioncies under hunting law. This in practice may lead to the protection of all or part of a populationof species, temporarily or permanently.The list covering vegetation taxa (plant alliances) is relatively more consistent thanother lists in this publication because it was elaborated by only one author. It must beemphasized that the development of a complete Carpathian List of Endangered Species,for plant communities was not a goal of this project. The philosophy here was to have anoverview about communities occurring within the Carpathians and to select the top 20communities. The plant alliances section of this book differs thoroughly from the plantand animal species chapters. For example, the evaluation of plant alliances was done onthe grounds of the occurrence of endemic vascular plant species. The selection was basedon the endemism of communities and the high proportion of endemic vascular plantswithin communities.How to Use This bookThe Carpathian List of Endangered Species is divided into the following chapters:1. Vascular Plants2. Mammals3. Birds4. Reptiles and Amphibians5. Fishes and Lampreys6. Invertebrates7. Plant AlliancesEach chapter begins with a textual explanation, followed by two sets of data tables:1. Species Category of Threat and Protection Status2. Species and Physiographic UnitsTo facilitate the use of this Carpathian List of Endangered Species, species of vascularplants within one class and vertebrates within one phylum are listed in alphabeticalorder (according to scientific name), irrespective of their exact systematic position.The presentation of the data for plant and vertebrate species (chapters 1 to 5) differsconsiderably from that for invertebrates and plant alliances (chapters 6 and 7).Invertebrate distribution can be attributed only to countries, not to mesoregions (as withvascular plants and vertebrates). Furthermore, plant alliances are not strictly related tospecies lists; specific differences are explained below in descriptions to the tables.Tables on Species Category of Threat and Protection StatusTables for vascular plants and vertebrates include the following information (see SampleTable 1 below):1. Category of Threat for Entire Carpathians and for Separate Carpathian Countries• EX – Extinct• EW – Extinct in the Wild• CR – Critically Endangered

To make the speciesdistribution concise, ranges of mesoregion codes were used in some cases: for example,“513.43-513.54” means that a species is present in all units in this range (513.43, 513.44,513.45 etc.). The full list of unit names and codes is given on the back of the map of theentire Carpathian Mountains, inserted at the back of this Carpathian List of EndangeredSpecies. All codes have also been mapped onto this map.
