Mohamed bin Zayed Species Conservation (Project No. 13056280) - Seychelles Crested Groundhopper - Awarded $4,160 on May 29, 2013
29-05-2013 - Seychelles Crested Groundhopper

Insects, which are endemic to islands are often highly threatened by changes of their environment. Several grasshoppers, crickets and bush-crickets endemic to the Seychelles are listed on the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species. Our aim is to map the distribution of these species, particularly the Seychelles Crested Groundhopper (Coptottigia cristata) and the Seychelles Wingless Grasshopper (Procytettix fusiformis) and start a habitat restoration ...

Mohamed bin Zayed Species Conservation (Project No. 13256173) - Great Raft Spider - Awarded $5,000 on May 29, 2013
29-05-2013 - Great Raft Spider

Our project is dedicated to rare European spider species Dolomedes plantarius (Clerck, 1757) (great raft spider) in Belarus. The main goal of our work is to find sites where this species is present to register them officially (create microreserves) and provide conservation activities that will give a chance to save great raft spider not only in Belarus but in the whole Europe.

Mohamed bin Zayed Species Conservation (Project No. 13054042) - Freshwater crab - Awarded $5,000 on May 29, 2013
29-05-2013 - Freshwater crab

The study centres on ecological questions (distribution, habitats, feeding, population size, growth, sex ratio and nutritional properties), threats and conservation status of freshwater crab, Isolapotamon bausense which is endemic to Borneo and categorized as Vulnerable by the IUCN Red List. The information is needed for effective conservation of the species include proposing the crab to be listed in the Wildlife Protection Ordinance of Sarawak.

Mohamed bin Zayed Species Conservation (Project No. 12255272) - Arabian staghorn - Awarded $9,000 on December 23, 2012
23-12-2012 - Arabian staghorn

Corals in the Arabian Gulf have been able to withstand very high water temperatures. However, extreme thermal events in the late 90's and again in 2010 and 2011, have lead to extensive bleaching. It is essential that a better understanding of the biology of this species be established to support management and conservation of populations in the Gulf.

Mohamed bin Zayed Species Conservation (Project No. 12054710) - Staghorn coral - Awarded $4,000 on December 20, 2012
20-12-2012 - Staghorn coral

My research focuses on taking a metabolic and physiological approach to find markers for resilience to climate change stress in the critically endangered coral, Acropora cervicornis. Specifically I am looking at tissue lipids and carbon and nitrogen stable isotopes to determine how energy is allocated under stress in this species in order to have a better understanding of how to conserve it.

Mohamed bin Zayed Species Conservation (Project No. 12054688) - Clark's Crayfish - Awarded $8,000 on December 20, 2012
20-12-2012 - Clark's Crayfish

The Australian Crayfish project was established with the aim of addressing specific knowledge gaps on all Australian crayfishes. With the assistance of the Mohamed bin Zayed Species Conservation Fund we are researching a unique small freshwater crayfish Euastacus clarkae that is only known to occur in a small highland section of Australia’s world heritage listed, Gowandan Rainforest.

Mohamed bin Zayed Species Conservation (Project No. 12054292) - Kauri Redcoat Damselfly - Awarded $2,000 on September 20, 2012
20-09-2012 - Kauri Redcoat Damselfly

Kauri Redcoat Damselfly (Xanthocnemis sobrina) is endemic to the New Zealand North Island. It is the only representative of its group in the country that is assessed as Data Deficient after the most recent IUCN Red List evaluation. The assessment was based on uncertainties around the species taxonomy and current conservation status.

Mohamed bin Zayed Species Conservation (Project No. 12254384) - Bumble bees - Awarded $6,000 on September 20, 2012
20-09-2012 - Bumble bees

Pollinators are critical components of our environment and essential to our food security, contributing to one in three bites of food that we eat. Bumble bees are among the best known pollinators, yet their conservation status remains largely unknown. We are evaluating the status of 43 species of North American bumble bees using the IUCN Red List Criteria.

Mohamed bin Zayed Species Conservation (Project No. 12254044) - Amani Flatwing - Awarded $8,000 on September 20, 2012
20-09-2012 - Amani Flatwing

The Amani Flatwing is one of the world's rarest dragonflies, threatened with extinction due to its restricted range and its small population in the Usambara Mts. To secure the species' survival on earth a workshop was jointly organized by Eustack Mtui from theTanzanian Forest Conservation Group (TFCG) and Dr. Viola Clausnitzer from Senckenberg, Germany.
