Overview

Gap analysis reveals urgent conservation needs for wild grapevine taxa across the Americas, suggesting crucial actions.

Key Points

  • This research aims to document the distributions, adaptations, and conservation statuses of wild grapevines native to the Americas.
  • Compiled occurrence records for 38 wild grapevine taxa native to the Americas.
  • Predicted distributions at high spatial resolution using climatic and topographic data.
  • Assessed conservation representation in ex situ and in situ systems, identifying existing gaps.
  • Identified 25 of 38 taxa as urgent priority and 10 as high priority for ex situ conservation.
  • Findings reveal 3 taxa urgent and 29 as high priority for enhancing in situ conservation.
  • Noted significant taxonomic richness in southern to central eastern USA and central to southern Mexico.
