Habitat & Geographic Range
geña
Native to Europe, inhabiting ecosystems characteristic of the region.
Found in Sweden.
León
Found across multiple habitat types including tropical and subtropical moist broadleaf forests, tropical and subtropical grasslands and savannas, and flooded grasslands and savannas, among 7 distinct biome types spanning the Afrotropic and Neotropic and Oceanian realms. Populations are also found in montane and highland environments at higher elevations.
Distributed across Colombia, Ecuador, and Kenya. Currently classified as Vulnerable on the IUCN Red List, this species faces significant conservation challenges across its range.
geña
Chocolate Spot Disease is caused by Botrytis fabae, a hemibiotroph fungal pathogen in the family Sclerotiniaceae, phylum Ascomycota. It is a highly destructive disease of faba beans (Vicia faba) and other legumes, causing characteristic chocolate-brown spots on leaves, stems, and pods — the spots that give the disease and organism its common name. The fungus spreads rapidly under cool, wet conditions and high humidity, producing massive quantities of conidiospores from infected lesions that are dispersed by rain splash and wind. In severe epidemics, entire bean crops can be defoliated, with significant yield losses of up to 100% recorded in susceptible varieties under conducive conditions. The pathogen produces both asexual conidia for rapid secondary spread and sexual apothecia from overwintering sclerotia in soil and debris, allowing it to persist between growing seasons. As a plant pathogen rather than a free-living organism, Botrytis fabae has no IUCN conservation status. Understanding its epidemiology is critical for sustainable management of faba bean production, which is an important crop globally for human consumption, animal feed, and soil nitrogen fixation. Management strategies include resistant cultivar development, fungicide application, and cultural practices to reduce humidity within crops.
León
El felino salvaje más grande de Africa, el león puede alcanzar hasta 250 kg y es el único félido social, viviendo en manadas en sabanas y praderas del Africa subsahariana. Los machos se distinguen por sus icónicas melenas. Como depredadores apicales, regulan las poblaciones de herbívoros y mantienen el equilibrio del ecosistema. Clasificado como Vulnerable debido a la pérdida de hábitat y el conflicto entre humanos y vida silvestre.
