The seaducks (Mergini) are a tribe of the duck subfamily of birds, the Anatinae. The taxonomy of this group is incomplete. Some authorities separate the group as a subfamily, others remove some genera from the group and keep others. Most species within the group spend their winters near coastal waters. Many species have developed specialized salt glands to allow them to tolerate salt water but these are poorly developed in juveniles. Some of the species prefer riverine habitats. All but two of the 20 species in this group live in far northern latitudes.
Rubus spectabilis, the salmonberry, is a species of brambles in the rose family, native to the west coast of North America from west central Alaska to California, inland as far as Idaho.
The Magdalena River is the principal river of Colombia, flowing northward about 1,528 kilometres (949 mi) through the western half of the country. It takes its name from the biblical figure Mary Magdalene.

It flows through the Magdalena River Valley.

Heroini is a fish tribe from the Cichlasomatinae subfamily in the cichlid family. All cichlids native to the Greater Antilles, United States, Mexico and northern Central America are members of this tribe. It also includes most cichlid species in southern Central America and several species from South America. A large percentage of its species were formerly placed in the genus Cichlasoma, but have since been moved to other genera.
Gastromyzon spectabilis is a species of ray-finned fish in the genus Gastromyzon.
Acantopsis spectabilis is a species of fish found in Thailand. The species is known from the Irrawaddy River and Salween River in Thailand and Myanmar and possibly Chindwin River.

Caquetaia myersi is a species of fish, a large predatory cichlid, which is endemic to the basin of the Amazon River, specifically the Putumayo and Napo rivers of Ecuador and Colombia. The specific name honours the American ichthyologist George S. Myers (1905-1985) of Stanford University, who first noticed that this was a different species of fish but did not formally describe it. The fish is a protrusible-mouthed predator. The juveniles are omnivorous but the large adults are carnivorous.
