偉格勒氏麥鷎
栗额金刚鹦鹉是一种中型金刚鹦鹉,分布于墨西哥南部至玻利维亚和巴西的中美洲和南美洲热带森林。主体羽色绿色,前额栗色,肩部红色,飞羽蓝色。它是真正金刚鹦鹉中最小的物种,栖息于森林边缘、稀树草原和次生林,常掠食农作物,在当地不受农民欢迎。它是受欢迎的笼养鸟,但野生种群因捕捉和森林砍伐而承受压力。
Cloud Forest Akodont
Cloud forest akodonts are small rodents in the genus Akodon (family Cricetidae, subfamily Sigmodontinae) adapted to the cool, moist cloud forests of the Andean mountain chain in South America. These small mice, typically 15–25 g body weight, are among the most diverse rodent genera in the Neotropics, with dozens of species occupying a range of habitats from tropical lowland forest to high-elevation grasslands and cloud forest margins. Cloud forest species live in mossy, fern-rich undergrowth at elevations typically between 1,500 and 3,500 meters, where they forage for seeds, fungi, invertebrates, and plant material among dense vegetation and under fallen logs. Akodonts are important prey species for forest raptors, small cats, and mustelids, and serve as seed dispersers in cloud forest ecosystems. Many cloud forest akodont species have restricted ranges tied to specific elevation bands on individual mountain ranges, making them vulnerable to climate change-driven upslope habitat shifts that compress available habitat and may eventually eliminate suitable conditions on mountains of insufficient height.
