Nesocordulia is a genus of dragonfly in the family Corduliidae. It contains the following species:
The hammerhead sharks are a group of sharks that form the family Sphyrnidae, so named for the unusual and distinctive structure of their heads, which are flattened and laterally extended into a "hammer" shape called a cephalofoil. Most hammerhead species are placed in the genus Sphyrna, while the winghead shark is placed in its own genus, Eusphyra. Many, but not necessarily mutually exclusive, functions have been postulated for the cephalofoil, including sensory reception, manoeuvering, and prey manipulation. Hammerheads are found worldwide in warmer waters along coastlines and continental shelves. Unlike most sharks, some hammerhead species usually swim in schools during the day, becoming solitary hunters at night. Some of these schools can be found near Malpelo Island in Colombia, the Galápagos Islands in Ecuador, Cocos Island off Costa Rica, near Molokai in Hawaii, and off southern and eastern Africa.
The wobbegong is the common name given to the 12 species of carpet sharks in the family Orectolobidae. They are found in shallow temperate and tropical waters of the western Pacific Ocean and eastern Indian Ocean, chiefly around Australia and Indonesia, although one species occurs as far north as Japan. The word wobbegong is believed to come from an Australian Aboriginal language, meaning "shaggy beard", referring to the growths around the mouth of the shark of the western Pacific.
The conservation status of a group of organisms indicates whether the group still exists and how likely the group is to become extinct in the near future. Many factors are taken into account when assessing conservation status: not simply the number of individuals remaining, but the overall increase or decrease in the population over time, breeding success rates, and known threats. Various systems of conservation status exist and are in use at international, multi-country, national and local levels as well as for consumer use.
Functional extinction is the extinction of a species or other taxon such that:
Sclerophrys djohongensis is a species of toad in the family Bufonidae. It is endemic to the Adamawa Plateau in north-central Cameroon. It was originally described as a subspecies of Bufo funereus. It might even be a junior synonym of Sclerophrys villiersi.
Sclerophrys villiersi is a species of toad in the family Bufonidae. It is endemic to western Cameroon. It occurs along fast-flowing streams in montane grasslands that sometimes contain gallery forest. During the day, it hides in holes. Breeding takes place in slow-flowing streams bordered with trees. It is threatened by habitat loss caused by smallholder farming activities, livestock ranching, timber extraction, and human settlement. It is not present in any protected areas.
The De Villiers' moss frog is a minute species of frog in the family Pyxicephalidae, which is endemic to the Western Cape, South Africa. At around 22 mm (0.87 in) length, it is one of the smallest regional species, though larger than the micro frog.
Phrynobatrachus villiersi is a species of frog in the family Phrynobatrachidae. It is found in southeastern Liberia, southern Côte d'Ivoire, and southwestern Ghana. Its natural habitat is tropical primary forest. The eggs are deposited on dried-up puddles just before the rains. It is very common in suitable habitat, but threatened by habitat loss caused by agriculture, logging, and human settlement.
The white-tailed monarch, or Kai monarch, is a species of bird in the family Monarchidae. It is endemic to the Kai Islands. Its natural habitat is subtropical or tropical moist lowland forests. It is threatened by habitat loss.
Acisoma is a small genus of dragonflies in the family Libellulidae. It contains six species:
Nesocordulia villiersi is a species of dragonfly in family Corduliidae. It is endemic to Comoros.
Prodasineura is a genus of damselflies in the family Protoneuridae. It contains the following species:
Acisoma variegatum, the slender pintail is a species of dragonfly in the family Libellulidae.
Acisoma inflatum, the stout pintail is a species of dragonfly in the family Libellulidae.
Nesocordulia malgassica is a species of dragonfly in family Corduliidae. It is endemic to Madagascar.
Coregonus lutokka is a species of ray-finned fish in the genus Coregonus. Its native habitat is Lake Onega and Lake Ladoga, although it has been introduced to many other water bodies in Russia. It eats larvae, molluscs and crustaceans, but in the summer, it goes to the top and feeds on zooplankton.
