白头海雕
白头海雕是美国国鸟,也是美国生态保护史上的成功案例,曾因滴滴涕(DDT)的广泛使用而濒临灭绝,经保护措施的实施后种群数量已显著恢复。该物种在IUCN红色名录中被评估为无危(LC),以白色头颈和尾羽与深棕色体羽形成的鲜明对比为主要识别特征。它们主要以鱼类为食,也会捕食哺乳动物和腐肉。
Colombian Stubfoot Toad
<em>Atelopus minutulus</em>, the Colombian stubfoot toad, is a critically endangered harlequin toad in the family Bufonidae, endemic to Colombia. This species is assessed as Critically Endangered by the IUCN, placing it among the most threatened amphibians in the world. Like many members of the genus <em>Atelopus</em>, it has suffered severe population declines attributed primarily to the lethal chytrid fungus <em>Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis</em>, compounded by habitat destruction and climate change. The species occupies tropical and subtropical moist broadleaf forests, dry broadleaf forests, and grassland and savanna habitats, suggesting broader ecological tolerance than many congeners. Stubfoot toads are characteristically diurnal and are often associated with stream margins in humid forest environments, where males typically call from rocks or vegetation near fast-flowing water. Their bright colouration in some <em>Atelopus</em> species signals toxicity, though the extent of toxicity in <em>A. minutulus</em> is not well established. Conservation efforts for Colombian stubfoot toads include captive breeding programmes and disease-resistance research. Biological traits of this species remain poorly documented in the scientific literature.
