The crimson-bellied woodpecker is a species of bird in the family Picidae. It is found in Colombia, Ecuador, Panama, and Peru. Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical moist lowland forest and subtropical or tropical moist montane forest.

The Rwanda mole-rat is a species of rodent in the family Spalacidae found in Burundi, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, and Rwanda. Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical moist montane forests, subtropical or tropical high-altitude grassland, arable land, pastureland, plantations, rural gardens, and heavily degraded former forest.
The northeast African mole-rat is a species of rodent in the family Spalacidae and is found in Ethiopia, Somalia, and northwest Kenya. Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical moist montane forests, dry savanna, high-altitude shrubland and grassland. It lives a solitary existence underground and produces a small litter of pups twice a year, in the two rainy seasons. Some taxonomic authorities lump this species, along with a number of others in the genus, in which case the English name East African mole-rat is used.
Aphanius splendens, the Gölçük toothcarp or splendid killifish, is an extinct species of freshwater fish in the family Cyprinodontidae. It was endemic to Lake Gölçük in Turkey. It became extinct due to the effects of fish introduced to the lake.
Leptolebias splendens, also known as the Splendid pearlfish is a species of killifish in the family Rivulidae endemic to Brazil, in the vicinity of Rio de Janeiro. This species was described as Cynolebias splendens in 1942 by George S. Myers with the type locality given as water holes or ponds along the foot of the Serra de Petropolis in Rio de Janeiro State. Deforestation and urbanisation led to the species disappearance from the area of its type locality and it was thought to be extinct but it was rediscovered 5 kilometres (3.1 mi) from the type locality some 70 years after the last known previous record.
Neolamprologus splendens is a species of cichlid endemic to Lake Tanganyika where it is only known to occur around Cape Zongwe in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. This species can reach a length of 8 centimetres (3.1 in) TL.

Achyranthes splendens is a species of flowering plant in the pigweed family, Amaranthaceae, that is endemic to Hawaiʻi. Its natural habitats are dry forests, low shrublands, and sandy shores. It is threatened by habitat loss. Native Hawaiians have, for centuries, considered its extract to be an effective natural cure for constipation.

Pouteria splendens is a species of plant in the family Sapotaceae. It is endemic to the coastal areas of Central Chile. Due to the current rates of habitat loss, a recent study proposed to reclassify this species as Endangered.

Deppea splendens, the golden fuchsia, is a species of flowering plant in the family Rubiaceae. It has been extinct in the wild since its habitat was cleared for farmland. It grows to 12–15 feet (3.7–4.6 m) tall, appearing as a small tree or large shrub. It was once native to Chiapas, Mexico, but is now found solely in horticulture. It bears gold and pink flowers. Dennis Breedlove, the discoverer, brought back Csapodya splendens seeds in 1981. It is grown in the San Francisco Conservatory of flowers inside the Highland Tropics gallery. The Huntington Gardens in Southern California also has an example growing in its conservatory.
