Leucostethus Ramirezi
''Leucostethus ramirezi'' is a species of frog in the family Dendrobatidae that is endemic to Colombia. It is only known from the region of its type locality, Urrao in the Antioquia Department. Habitat Scientists observed this frog on farms and in pastures near forests and unpolluted streams between above sea level. The frog's known range includes one protected park: Parque Nacional Natural Las Orquídeas. Scientists believe it may also live in Parque Nacional Natural Paramillo. Young Scientists have observed tadpoles swimming in small pools of water, even footprints. Threats The IUCN classifies this species as endangered. They observe that it can live in habitats that have faced some disturbance but do not think it can tolerate extremely disturbed habitats. The frog faces threats from deforestation in favor of agriculture, livestock cultivation, and illegal gold mining. The deforestation affects parts of the Parque Nacional Natural Las Orquídeas. Scientists do not know ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Parque Nacional Natural Paramillo
The Paramillo Massif (''Nudo de Paramillo'') is a mountain range of the Tropical Andes System, located at the northern end of the Cordillera Occidental (West Andes) range in Colombia. Geography Administratively, the Paramillo Massif is located in the municipalities of Ituango and Peque in Antioquia Department; and Puerto Libertador and Tierralta in Córdoba Department. The municipalities that surround this massif are Chigorodó, Mutatá, Tarazá, Cáceres and Caucasia in Antioquia. This massif is intervisible with several peaks in the Sierra Nevada, e.g. Pico Simón Bolívar 5,700 m (18,700 ft) in the north of Colombia. This implies a theoretical direct line of sight of just over 500 km (310 mi), reported to be the longest between any two points on the surface of the Earth. Subranges This mountainous region gives rise to three smaller ranges that spread northward and recede into the Caribbean plain. *The Abibe Mountains (''Serranía de Abibe'') form a natural border betwe ...

Taxa Named By Marco Antonio Serna Díaz
In biology, a taxon (back-formation from ''taxonomy''; : taxa) is a group of one or more populations of an organism or organisms seen by taxonomists to form a unit. Although neither is required, a taxon is usually known by a particular name and given a particular ranking, especially if and when it is accepted or becomes established. It is very common, however, for taxonomists to remain at odds over what belongs to a taxon and the criteria used for inclusion, especially in the context of rank-based (" Linnaean") nomenclature (much less so under phylogenetic nomenclature). If a taxon is given a formal scientific name, its use is then governed by one of the nomenclature codes specifying which scientific name is correct for a particular grouping. Initial attempts at classifying and ordering organisms (plants and animals) were presumably set forth in prehistoric times by hunter-gatherers, as suggested by the fairly sophisticated folk taxonomies. Much later, Aristotle, and later still ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
