Ameerega panguana is a species of poison dart frog that lives in Peru and was described in 2019. [1]
Ameerega panguana is a small species of Ameerega , adult males are slightly smaller than females (the only sign of sexual dimorphism): males' size ranges from 16.9 to 19.7 mm and females' size ranges from 16.6 to 22.1 mm. [2] [3]
Ameerega panguana is found in Huánaco in Peru at elevations of 200–400 m in small streams in disturbed forested habitats. [3]
The cinnamon teal is a species of duck found in western North and South America. It is a small dabbling duck, with bright reddish plumage on the male and duller brown plumage on the female. It lives in marshes and ponds, and feeds mostly on plants.
The chivi vireo is a small South American songbird in the family Vireonidae. It was formerly considered a subspecies of the red-eyed vireo. It is usually green to yellow-green in color with off-white underparts, and a gray crown. It has a whitish supercilium extending over its ear coverts, and its lores are dull gray in color. The chivi vireo has nine subspecies. It is found throughout most of northern, eastern and central South America, only being absent from southern Chile and southern Argentina. It inhabits multiple types of habitat across its range, and appears to adjust well to slightly disturbed habitat. The chivi vireo is mainly resident, but at least two of the subspecies inhabiting the south of its range are known to be migratory.
The vermilion flycatcher is a small passerine bird in the tyrant flycatcher family found throughout South America and southern North America. It is a striking exception among the generally drab Tyrannidae due to its vermilion-red coloration. The males have bright red crowns, chests, and underparts, with brownish wings and tails. Females lack the vivid red coloration and can be hard to identify—they may be confused for the Say's phoebe. The vermilion flycatcher's song is a pit pit pit pidddrrrreeedrr, which is variable and important in establishing a territory. Riparian habitats and semi-open environments are preferred. As aerial insectivores, they catch their prey while flying. Their several months-long molt begins in summer.
Ameerega braccata, formerly Epipedobates braccatus, is a species of frog in the family Dendrobatidae. It is endemic to the Central-West Region of Brazil and is known from southern Mato Grosso, Mato Grosso do Sul, and southwestern Goiás states; however, it is likely that its true range extends into adjacent Bolivia and Paraguay.
Ameerega hahneli is a species of frog in the family Dendrobatidae. It is found in the Amazonian lowlands of Brazil, Bolivia, Peru, Ecuador, Colombia, Venezuela, Guyana, French Guiana, and Suriname. It is named after Paul Hahnel, the collector of the type series.
Silverstone's poison frog is a species of frog in the family Dendrobatidae endemic to Peru. Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical moist lowland forests and rivers.
Ameerega trivittata, formerly Epipedobates trivittatus, is a species of frog in the family Dendrobatidae commonly known as the three-striped poison frog. It is found in Bolivia, Brazil, Colombia, Guyana, Peru, Suriname, Venezuela, possibly Ecuador, and possibly French Guiana.
Hamptophryne boliviana, also known as the Bolivian bleating frog or Amazon sheep frog, is a species of frogs in the family Microhylidae. It is found in the northern and western sides of the Amazon basin in Bolivia, Brazil, Colombia, Ecuador, French Guiana, Guyana, Peru, Suriname, and Venezuela. Genetic analysis suggests hidden diversity within the nominal species.
Ayres's hawk-eagle, also referred to as Ayres' eagle, is a medium-sized bird of prey in the family Accipitridae. It is native to African woodlands. Its name honors South African ornithologist Thomas Ayres.
Gigantorhynchus is a genus of Acanthocephala that parasitize marsupials, anteaters, and possibly baboons by attaching themselves to the intestines using their hook-covered proboscis. Their life cycle includes an egg stage found in host feces, a cystacanth (larval) stage in an intermediate host such as termites, and an adult stage where cystacanths mature in the intestines of the host. This genus is characterized by a cylindrical proboscis with a crown of robust hooks at the apex followed by numerous small hooks on the rest of the proboscis, a long body with pseudosegmentation, filiform lemnisci, and ellipsoid testes. The largest known specimen is the female G. ortizi with a length of around 240 millimetres (9.4 in) and a width of 2 millimetres (0.08 in). Genetic analysis on one species of Gigantorhynchus places it with the related genus Mediorhynchus in the family Gigantorhynchidae. Six species in this genus are distributed across Central and South America and possibly Zimbabwe. Infestation by a Gigantorhynchus species may cause partial obstructions of the intestines, severe lesions of the intestinal wall, and may lead to death.
Panguana is a biological research station, founded in 1968 and since 2011 it is also a private conservation area extending over almost 10 km2 of tropical primary forest in Peru.
Tropidurus melanopleurus, the black lava lizard, is a species of lizard from the Andean region of western South America, ranging between the three different countries of Peru, Bolivia, and Argentina. It was described in 1902 by zoologist George Boulenger. It is fairly small in size, but is known for its different appearance and differing size between the males and females. However, while the patterns of color may be different between the sexes, both males and females have a very distinct physical color array with a patterned mix of green, orange, cream, black and or brown. This species of lizard lives in a generally warm to hot climate all year round and spends most of its day on the side of vertical rock structures in the mountains, feeding on various types of insects, with an emphasis on ants.
Ameerega shihuemoy, the Amarakaeri poison frog, is a species of dart frog endemic to a small region in southeastern Peru in the Manú District where it lives in the transition zone between montane rainforest and the lowland rainforest. The frog is a member of the Ameerega picta group. It was discovered at the Manú Learning Centre where it is known to occur in pieces of selectively logged forest. This species is threatened by habitat loss due to agriculture, gold mining, oil extraction, road construction, and logging. Currently the frog is only known from nine locations globally; three sites in the Manú Biosphere Reserve, and six in Amarakaeri Communal Reserve. Initially it was considered for a status of vulnerable or near-threatened, but due to its low number of known localities it has been considered endangered.
Ameerega boehmei is a species of frog in the family Dendrobatidae. It is endemic to the Chiquitania region in the Santa Cruz Department, Bolivia, where it is known from two isolated sandstone massifs, Serranía de Santiago and Serranía de Chochis. It is similar to Ameerega flavopicta and has been confused with that species. The specific name boehmei honors Wolfgang Böhme, for "his support of the scientific careers of all authors from early days on". Common name Boehmei's poison arrow frog has been proposed for this species.
Ameerega munduruku is a species of poison dart frog in the family Dentrobatidae. It was described in 2017 by the herpetologist Matheus Neves and his colleagues, and is named after the Munduruku, an ethnic group native to Brazil. A medium-sized frog for its genus, it has a snout–vent length of 24.9–27.3 mm (0.98–1.07 in) for adult males and 20.4–28.6 mm (0.80–1.13 in) for adult females. It has black uppersides, with a cream stripe from the snout to the groin, white undersides with worm-like black markings, and brown uppersides to the limbs. There are orange spots on the armpit and lower leg and an orange stripe from the groin to the thigh. Both sexes are similar but can be told apart by the presence of vocal slits in males.
Ameerega parvula is a species of poison dart frog that lives in Colombia, Ecuador and Peru.
Ameerega imasmari, commonly known as riddle poison frog, is a species of poison dart frog that lives in Peru and was described in 2019. The specific epithet imasmari means "riddle" in the indigenous Quechua language.
Ameerega rubriventris is a small species of poison dart frog that lives in Peru in secondary wet forests described in 1997. It can be found at an elevation of 350–1000 m.
