Journal of Threatened Taxa

The title is a bit misleading when the majority of the articles are of species that are classified as 'not evaluated', 'data deficient', or 'least concern'.

It also needs a contents.

Contents are on the back cover, which is obviously less useful when read electronically.

Obviously NE and DD species can be threatened, but this journal does seem to be focusing less on the taxa you would expect it to. I rather suspect they get this pointed out to them on a regular basis, given a page on their website (Journal of Threatened Taxa) includes this gem:

The term “threatened” in the Journal of Threatened Taxa is defined broadly to include all forms of taxa and their ecosystems, with the premise that the natural world today is threatened and therefore its taxa.

If that's the case, then the title is a tautology and they should drop the word 'threatened' from the title.
