coast amaranth

Coast amaranth (Amaranthus pumilus) is an annual herb in the family Amaranthaceae, native to the Atlantic and Gulf coasts of the eastern United States, where it once grew on coastal foredunes, beach strand, and shell-hash substrates above the high tide line from New York south to South Carolina. It is a low-growing, fleshy plant with small, rounded leaves and inconspicuous green flowers typical of the genus. Coast amaranth is assessed as Extinct in the Wild by the IUCN, as it has not been reliably documented from wild populations since the mid-20th century; the last confirmed collections date to the 1960s. The species' decline and likely extinction resulted from intense human pressure on Atlantic coastal habitats through shoreline development, beach stabilisation, vehicular traffic on beaches, and increased storm frequency disrupting pioneer dune vegetation. It is federally listed as Threatened in the United States, though this listing predates confirmed extinction in the wild. A small number of ex-situ accessions may exist in botanical garden collections. Genetic material and seed banking efforts represent the only remaining conservation options for this critically reduced species.

領印加蜂鳥

领印加蜂鸟是一种栖息于哥伦比亚至玻利维亚安第斯山地森林的中大型蜂鸟，具有醒目的黑白羽毛，带有宽阔的白色胸带和飞行时清晰可见的白色尾斑。栖息于海拔1700-3200米的森林和森林边缘，在多种开花植物上觅食，是安第斯大型花灌木和乔木的重要传粉者。对比鲜明的白色尾斑在悬停飞行时闪烁明显，有助于物种识别。
