In India, the population of the Indian spiny-tailed lizard is extinct in many parts of its past distribution. Currently, the species is mainly confined to the desert areas of northwestern India. The present study was carried out from January 2014 to May 2017 in the Thar desert of Rajasthan (TDR) to know the population status and habitat suitability...

... The illegal trade in spiny-tailed lizards for medicinal products, coupled with changing climatic conditions and the growing pet industry, have all collectively impacted the species' survival in the wild [56,57]. However, in most countries where medical facilities are scarce, healthcare systems based on traditional knowledge thrive. ...
... This exclusive competence is particularly important, especially in biodiversity studies, where research needs to be replicated at periodic intervals and the specific characteristics of which have to be monitored efficiently over time. Synthesizing tools utilizing GIS are promising for mapping the abundance data from invasive species within time to be able to predict potentiality and extent of selected variables (Aryal and Bhatta, 2019;Kaur et al., 2020). ...
The invasive alien lionfish, Pterois miles is a ray-finned fish from the Scorpaenidae family, which has twelve accepted species from the genus Pterois. It was recorded in May 2014 at the Pina Reef, 2.28 miles off Kas harbour (southwestern coasts of Turkey) for the first time, and showed a very rapid establishment in the rocky habitats throughout Kas-Kekova Special Environmental Protected Area (SEPA). During the summer of 2014 only three individuals were recorded at two different locations, however as of 2017, regular observations could be made at each diving spot, which is indicative of an increasing trend. The temporal perspective of this study increases the understanding on the progression of expected range expansion of P. miles within a relatively small region, covering the period of 2014–2019. Fish count observations from underwater visual census surveys in addition to records from citizen science approach were evaluated based on spatio-temporal analysis. Resulting visualizations were prepared to present annual dynamics of spatio-temporal distribution within and outside the SEPA. Rapid expansion, up to 22 individuals per 500 m linear transects of an estimated area of 15.000 m² each, and the increases in the numbers of fish are quantified in this study, which can be used as a baseline to develop conservation strategy for native species. Efforts to cull and create consumption demand to decrease the population trend of the lionfish have already started in the region.
