Black-throated Mango
A large, striking hummingbird of tropical forests from southern Mexico to Argentina, black-throated mangos have dramatic sexual dimorphism — males display glittering black throat and breast with violet and green flanks and a bold purple tail, while females are white below with a central black stripe. Inhabiting forest edges, clearings, and gardens, they aggressively defend flowering trees. Males perform spectacular aerial display flights at treetop height. Listed as Least Concern across their broad neotropical range.
Entoloma querquedula is an agaric fungus in the family Entolomataceae, assessed as Near Threatened (NT). It is found in nutrient-poor, unfertilised grassland and mire habitats that have declined due to agricultural intensification and drainage. Its near-threatened status reflects sensitivity to grassland management changes.
