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.

玉頸鴉〔白頸鴉〕

<em>Corvus torquatus</em> is a corvid in the family Corvidae that has not been formally evaluated under current IUCN Red List criteria. Historically, <em>Corvus torquatus</em> was treated as a valid species encompassing what is now often recognized as <em>Corvus pectoralis</em>, and the two names have been used synonymously in some taxonomic treatments. The relationship between these taxa reflects ongoing revisions within corvid systematics. <em>Corvus torquatus</em> is associated with aerial, terrestrial, and aquatic environments within its recorded range. Corvids generally exhibit complex social behavior, tool use, and omnivorous dietary habits. Specific diet, population estimates, population trend, and biological measurements for <em>Corvus torquatus</em> as a distinct entity are not documented in the available records. Biological traits of this species remain poorly documented in the scientific literature. Its conservation status has not been formally assessed, and the taxonomic status of this name relative to <em>Corvus pectoralis</em> warrants clarification in future systematic reviews.
