Distributed across Colombia, Ecuador, and Venezuela. Listed as Near Threatened, this species requires ongoing monitoring to prevent population decline.

Cinnabar Oysterling

Cinnabar oysterling (Crepidotus cinnabarinus) is a brightly colored bracket fungus in the family Crepidotaceae, found in Europe and North America, typically on dead deciduous wood including fallen logs, branches, and stumps in humid woodland settings. It is one of the more visually distinctive members of the genus, with vivid orange-red to cinnabar-red fruiting bodies—far more colorful than most Crepidotus species, which are typically pale and inconspicuous. The fruiting bodies are small, fan-shaped to kidney-shaped caps with a lateral attachment to the substrate, white gills that become pinkish-brown as spores mature, and no stalk. Crepidotus cinnabarinus is classified as Vulnerable, reflecting population declines associated with the loss of dead wood habitat in managed forests across Europe and parts of North America. Saproxylic fungi of this type depend on old-growth or mature woodland conditions with abundant coarse woody debris. Intensive forest management that removes deadwood and fallen logs significantly reduces habitat quality. The species is found in old-growth deciduous forest remnants and is an indicator of high conservation value woodland. Conservation measures include the retention of deadwood during forestry operations and the protection of ancient and veteran trees. Its striking coloration makes it a memorable indicator species for woodland ecologists.

jaguar

アメリカ大陸最大のネコ科動物で、体重は最大100kgに達し、がっしりとした筋肉質の体型と特有のロゼット模様の毛皮を持つ。メキシコから南アメリカにかけて分布し、アマゾンやパンタナルが主要生息地となる。優れた水泳能力を持つ頂点捕食者であり、獲物個体数の調節に重要な役割を担う。森林破壊により生息域が縮小し、準絶滅危惧に分類されている。
