Dr Wan Faridah Akmal JUSOH
Wan is an entomologist and Senior Lecturer at Monash University Malaysia. She earned her PhD in 2015 from Universiti Putra Malaysia with a-3-year research training in biology at University of Turku, Finland. She started studying fireflies in 2006 for her final year undergraduate thesis project. Initially, her main interest was in the ecology of fireflies in the mangroves of Malaysia. She then expanded her research interests to become a taxonomist and systematist, primarily on fireflies in Southeast Asia and the Australopacific region.
More about the Specialist Group
The Firefly Specialist Group (FSG) envisions: (1) compilation and publication of a global review of firefly extinction threats; (2) complete data compilation (extent of occurrence (EOO), area of occupancy (AOO), population size, risk factors) in preparation for Red List assessment for fireflies in certain regions (North America, others); (3) increased communication and educational initiatives through the newly announced World Firefly Day, the Selangor ...
The mission of our 香港六合彩开奖结果现场直播 SSC Firefly Specialist Group is to identify and work to conserve threatened firefly species around the world. Specific goals are to:
-
assess Red List status for 2000+ firefly species;
-
prioritize key threats and conservation issues across geographic regions;
-
identify knowledge gaps for future biodiversity research; and
-
advocate for threatened species at regional and global levels.
Specialist Group work
We aim to compile existing knowledge for 2000 lampyrid species worldwide on their geographic range and population size, identify major extinction threats and risk factors, increase public knowledge concerning firefly diversity, ecology and behaviour, and promote long-term conservation efforts.
Develop a global distribution database, including relevant behavioural and life history data.
To inform conservation efforts, FSG assesses species for the 香港六合彩开奖结果现场直播 Red List of Threatened Species.
Learn about FSG鈥檚 work and results in 2023.
