Coarse Stained-glass Leafhopper

Argaterma alticola, the coarse stained-glass leafhopper, is a critically endangered hemipteran insect in the family Cicadellidae, known only from a highly restricted distribution in Azerbaijan. Leafhoppers in this family are small, typically fast-moving plant-feeding insects that suck phloem sap from their host plants and can be economically significant in agricultural contexts. Argaterma alticola is associated with montane or high-altitude grassland or scrub vegetation in the Caucasus region, where its highly localized range makes it exceptionally vulnerable to habitat alteration. The Critically Endangered assessment reflects the tiny known range, presumed small population size, and threats from overgrazing, agricultural intensification, and climate-driven vegetation shifts in the Caucasus mountain systems. The family Cicadellidae is among the most species-rich families of insects globally, with over 20,000 described species, but many specialized species with restricted ranges remain poorly studied and face extinction before they can be formally surveyed. Conservation of this species depends on identifying and protecting the specific grassland habitats in Azerbaijan where it persists and understanding its host plant associations and population size.

아메리카 대륙에서 가장 큰 고양잇과 동물로, 체중이 최대 100kg에 달하며 단단하고 근육질의 체형과 특유의 로제트 무늬 털가죽을 지닌다. 멕시코에서 남아메리카까지 분포하며, 아마존과 판타날이 주요 서식지다. 뛰어난 수영 실력을 갖춘 최상위 포식자로, 먹이 개체수 조절에 핵심적 역할을 한다. 산림 벌채로 인해 서식 범위가 줄어들어 준위협종으로 분류된다.
