Coastal Rocket Frog

Coastal rocket frog (Allobates bromelicola) is a small terrestrial frog in the family Allophrynidae (formerly placed in Dendrobatidae), endemic to coastal lowland forests of Venezuela. Despite its placement near poison dart frogs, Allobates species are non-toxic. This species inhabits the humid leaf litter and bromeliads of coastal Venezuelan forests, where adults care for egg clutches and transport tadpoles to small water bodies including bromeliad phytotelmata. The genus Allobates is widespread across Amazonian and coastal South American forests, characterised by vocal males, ground-level activity, and close parental care. Coastal rocket frog is assessed as Vulnerable by the IUCN, primarily due to restricted range, habitat loss from deforestation for agriculture, livestock grazing, and urban expansion along Venezuela's coast. Climate change poses an additional threat through altered precipitation patterns affecting its bromeliad microhabitats. The species' specific association with bromeliads makes it particularly sensitive to vegetation structure loss. As with many narrowly endemic amphibians, ex-situ conservation programmes and improved habitat protection within its range are considered important management priorities.

Streaked Saltator

줄무늬솔타토르(Saltator striatipectus)는 콜롬비아, 에콰도르, 파나마의 태평양 연안 저지대에 서식하는 중형 솔타토르로, 가슴과 옆구리에 굵은 갈색과 흰색 줄무늬가 있어 이름이 붙었습니다. 숲 가장자리, 덤불, 이차림에 서식하며 쌍 또는 소집단으로 씨앗과 과일을 채식합니다. 최소관심종으로 등록되어 있으나 농업 확장과 삼림 벌채로 점점 위협받는 태평양 저지대에 한정된 분포 범위를 가집니다. 솔타토르 특유의 풍부한 휘파람 소리를 냅니다.
