jaguar
Found across multiple habitat types including tropical and subtropical moist broadleaf forests, tropical and subtropical dry broadleaf forests, and tropical and subtropical grasslands and savannas, among 6 distinct biome types spanning the Neotropic and Oceanian realms. Populations are also found in montane and highland environments at higher elevations.
Distributed across Colombia, Ecuador, and Venezuela. Listed as Near Threatened, this species requires ongoing monitoring to prevent population decline.
Colorado Stonecrop
<em>Sedum spathulifolium</em>, the Colorado stonecrop or spoon-leaved stonecrop, is a succulent perennial plant in the family Crassulaceae with a native range in western North America and records in seven European countries as well as Colombia. This species has not been evaluated by the IUCN. Stonecrops in the genus <em>Sedum</em> are characteristically drought-tolerant, inhabiting rocky outcrops, cliff faces, talus slopes, and other well-drained terrestrial habitats where competition from larger plants is reduced. <em>Sedum spathulifolium</em> forms low-growing rosettes of fleshy, spoon-shaped leaves that are often coated in a powdery glaucous bloom, which helps reduce water loss in exposed environments. Yellow star-shaped flowers appear in spring and early summer, attracting a range of small pollinators. The species is widely cultivated as a rock garden ornamental owing to its compact habit and attractive foliage, which may explain its presence outside its native range. Like other Crassulaceae, <em>Sedum spathulifolium</em> employs Crassulacean acid metabolism to reduce water loss during photosynthesis. Biological traits of this species remain poorly documented in the scientific literature.
