Bauhinia jenningsii

Bauhinia jenningsii faces severe threats from habitat destruction due to agricultural expansion and urban development across its limited range. The species' restricted distribution makes it particularly vulnerable to localized threats, while climate change poses additional risks to its specialized habitat requirements.

Xylopia roigii

Xylopia aromatica

Cicendia filiformis

Yellow Centaury faces severe population declines due to habitat loss from agricultural intensification, urban development, and changes in traditional land management practices. The species' specialized requirements for temporary wet depressions and specific soil conditions make it particularly vulnerable to drainage, eutrophication, and altered hydrological regimes.

Corallorhiza trifida

Cynoscion phoxocephalus

Tortella flavovirens

Lasioglossum xanthopus

Catoptria lythargyrella

Tricholoma equestre

Saxifraga hirculus

Yellow Marsh Saxifrage is declining primarily due to habitat loss and degradation of wetland ecosystems through drainage, agricultural conversion, and development. Climate change poses an additional threat by altering the hydrology and temperature regimes of the specialized bog and fen habitats this species requires.

Shorea balanocarpoides

Shorea hopeifolia

Yellow Meranti faces severe threats from extensive deforestation and habitat conversion throughout its range in Southeast Asian lowland forests. Logging operations, both legal and illegal, combined with agricultural expansion and palm oil plantations, have dramatically reduced available habitat. The species' restriction to specific lowland forest conditions makes it particularly vulnerable to these ongoing pressures.

Morchella esculenta

Terminalia tetraphylla

Yellow sanders faces severe population decline due to extensive habitat destruction from coastal development and agricultural expansion throughout its native range. The species is further threatened by overexploitation for its valuable timber and traditional medicinal uses, combined with limited natural regeneration in fragmented forest patches.

Pogonus luridipennis

Yellow Pogonus faces severe threats from coastal habitat destruction and degradation due to urban development, industrial activities, and sea level rise affecting its specialized saltmarsh and mudflat environments. The species' restricted distribution and specific habitat requirements make it particularly vulnerable to environmental changes and human disturbance in coastal areas.

Usnocetraria oakesiana

Yellow Ribbon Lichen faces severe threats from air pollution, particularly nitrogen deposition and sulfur compounds, which dramatically alter the chemical composition of its substrate and surrounding environment. Climate change is causing shifts in temperature and humidity patterns that disrupt the delicate balance this species requires for survival. Habitat loss through deforestation and urban development has eliminated many suitable locations where this lichen historically occurred.

Carex flava

Pseudocyphellaria crocata

Tricholoma sulphurescens

The Yellow Staining Knight faces severe population declines due to widespread habitat destruction and degradation of its specialized forest ecosystems. Climate change is altering the delicate soil chemistry and mycorrhizal relationships essential for this fungus, while pollution and forest fragmentation further threaten remaining populations.

Liparis loeselii

The Yellow Widelip Orchid faces severe population declines due to widespread habitat destruction and degradation of its specialized wetland environments. Drainage of fens, bogs, and wet meadows for agriculture and development has eliminated many historical populations, while remaining sites suffer from altered hydrology, invasive species encroachment, and reduced habitat quality from pollution and eutrophication.

Anemone ranunculoides

Pyrgus sidae

Geocrinia vitellina

Bombina variegata

The Yellow-bellied Toad faces severe population declines across its range due to widespread habitat destruction and degradation of its specialized breeding sites. Agricultural intensification, urban development, and pollution have eliminated many of the small, temporary water bodies essential for reproduction, while climate change threatens to further reduce suitable habitat availability.

Gavia adamsii

The Yellow-billed Diver faces severe threats from climate change impacts on Arctic breeding habitats, including altered ice conditions and changing prey availability. Industrial development, oil spills, and pollution in both breeding and wintering areas pose additional significant risks to this Arctic specialist. Conservation status may vary by region or assessment authority.

Anas georgica

Grallaria flavotincta

Herpsilochmus axillaris

Atlapetes flaviceps

Xenopipo flavicapilla

Ecliptopera capitata

Crax daubentoni

Nomada succincta

The Yellow-legged Nomad Bee faces threats from habitat loss due to agricultural intensification and urban development, which reduces nesting opportunities for both the species and its host bees. The decline of host bee populations directly impacts this cleptoparasitic species' ability to reproduce successfully. Climate change may disrupt the timing between the nomad bee's lifecycle and its host species' activity periods.

Chaenopsis schmitti

Rhinanthus minor

Amazona barbadensis

Lynchius flavomaculatus

Somatochlora flavomaculata

Leucorrhinia pectoralis

The Yellow-spotted Whiteface faces severe population declines due to widespread habitat destruction and degradation of its specialized wetland environments. Climate change and water pollution further threaten the delicate aquatic ecosystems this dragonfly depends on for reproduction and larval development, while its limited dispersal ability makes populations particularly vulnerable to local extinctions.

Eleutherodactylus limbatus

Pycnonotus xantholaemus

Chlorospingus flavigularis

Ramphastos ambiguus

Elachista bisulcella

Rorippa islandica

Sympetrum flaveolum

Epinephelus marginatus

Mycteroperca venenosa

Emberiza citrinella
