The International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Red List of Threatened Species, founded in 1964, is the world's most comprehensive inventory of the global conservation status of biological species. It uses a set of criteria to evaluate the extinction risk of thousands of species and subspecies. These criteria are relevant to all species and all regions of the world. With its strong scientific base, the IUCN Red List is recognized as the most authoritative guide to the status of biological diversity. A series of Regional Red Lists are produced by countries or organizations, which assess the risk of extinction to species within a political management unit.
Combtooth blennies are blenniiformids; percomorph marine fish of the family Blenniidae, part of the order Blenniiformes. They are the largest family of blennies with around 401 known species in 58 generas. Combtooth blennies are found in tropical and subtropical waters in the Atlantic, Pacific and Indian Oceans; some species are also found in brackish and even freshwater environments.
The mimic blenny or piano fangblenny, Plagiotremus tapeinosoma, is a blenny of the genus Plagiotremus, with a widespread Indo-Pacific distribution including New Zealand from depths of 8 to 30 metres. This species reaches a length of 14 centimetres (5.5 in) TL.
Orthetrum is a large genus of dragonflies in the Libellulidae family. They are commonly referred to as skimmers.
Juniperus comitana is a species of conifer in the family Cupressaceae found in Guatemala and Mexico.
The bluestreak cleaner wrasse, Labroides dimidiatus, is one of several species of cleaner wrasses found on coral reefs from Eastern Africa and the Red Sea to French Polynesia. Like other cleaner wrasses, it eats parasites and dead tissue off larger fishes' skin in a mutualistic relationship that provides food and protection for the wrasse, and considerable health benefits for the other fishes.

Plagiotremus azaleus, the sabertooth blenny, is a species of combtooth blenny found in coral reefs in the eastern Pacific Ocean. This species reaches a length of 10 centimetres (3.9 in) TL.
Plagiotremus ewaensis, the Ewa blenny, Ewa fangblenny or the blue-stripe blenny, is a species of combtooth blenny found in coral reefs in the eastern central Pacific Ocean also found in Hawai'i. This species reaches a length of 10.2 centimetres (4.0 in) SL.
Plagiotremus goslinei, the biting blenny, Gosline's fangblenny, scale-eating blenny or the scale-eating fang blenny, is a species of combtooth blenny found in coral reefs in the eastern central Pacific Ocean.

Plagiotremus phenax, the Imposter fangblenny, is a species of combtooth blenny found in coral reefs in the Indian ocean. This species reaches a length of 8 centimetres (3.1 in) TL. This blenny uses bio mimicry to avoid predation, as it has a strong resemblance to the disco blenny.
Plagiotremus rhinorhynchos, commonly called the bluestriped fangblenny, is a species of combtooth blenny found in coral reefs in the Pacific and Indian ocean. This species reaches a length of 12 centimetres (4.7 in) SL. It is also known as the bluestriped blenny, bluestriped sabretooth blenny, blunt-nose blenny, cleaner mimic, tube-worm blenny or the two-stripe blenny.

This species reaches a length of 8 centimetres (3.1 in) TL. This species is a Batesian mimic of Meiacanthus atrodorsalis.
Plagiotremus flavus is a species of combtooth blenny from Fiji, and Tonga, in the western central Pacific Ocean. It is found down to depths of 27 metres (89 ft) and is associated with reefs. It attacks other fish to feed on mucus and scales. In Fiji this species is a Batesian mimic of Meiacanthus oualanensis in Fiji and of Meiacanthus tongaensis in Tonga.
