Geographically separate subpopulations of a species are defined as those populations that are so isolated from others of the same species that it is considered extremely unlikely that there is any genetic interchange. In general, listings of such subpopulations are restricted to those that have been isolated for a long period of time.
Assessments of subspecies, varieties, and geographically separate subpopulations must adhere to the same standards as for species assessments. However, these assessments are only included provided there is a global assessment of the species as a whole.
Infraspecific ranks such as formas, subvarieties, cultivars, etc are not included in the Red List.
A list unless using a function with a trailing underscore, in which case json as character string is returned.
