White-necked Jacobin by Adam Rainoff Via Flickr: The White-necked Jacobin (Florisuga mellivora) is a captivating subject, and I was fortunate to capture this stunning specimen at Reserva Natural EntreAguas in Tolima, Colombia. This shot highlights the male's vibrant blue, turquoise, and white plumage, a striking contrast against the lush green foliage of its natural habitat. Positioned gracefully on a slender branch, the Jacobin's iridescent feathers shimmer in the soft, diffused light of the forest canopy. This image was taken at 1,187 meters above sea level, within the species' typical range up to 1,200 meters across various tropical regions from southern Mexico to western Ecuador, and east through the Caribbean and northern South America. From a technical perspective, achieving this shot required patience and careful observation. The White-necked Jacobin is known for its rapid movements and territorial behavior, making it a challenging subject to photograph. Utilizing a high shutter speed and a wide aperture, I aimed to freeze the motion and capture the intricate details of its plumage. The natural lighting conditions were ideal, providing a soft, even illumination that accentuated the bird's vibrant colors. This image not only showcases the beauty of the Jacobin but also reflects the serene and biodiverse environment of Reserva Natural EntreAguas. ©2021 Adam Rainoff Photographer

Specialist species such as the Pallas’ cat manage prey populations in their habitat. They can also be ideal indicators of ecosystem health, according to research.

Small cats face big threats: Reasons to save these elusive endangered species

The fishing cat is a wetland specialist but also shows adaptability. Researchers in Sri Lanka have studied a population living in Colombo’s urban area for several years. Making such specialist species the face of at-risk habitats could bring wider conservation benefits, experts suggest.

Efforts are underway to understand if the Northern tiger cat should be split into distinct species. In Colombia, Juan Camilo Cepeda Duque, of the Andean Tiger Cat Conservation Alliance, describes the local species (known as the Andean tiger cat) as a “free colleague” for farmers living in the vicinity of forests because the animal helps control pests.

Panthera, an NGO, is researching how bobcats regulate mountain beaver populations in Washington state, U.S. It could be the case that foresters can greatly benefit from having these cats around, says researcher Wai-Ming Wong. But data remain scant: Only one ecosystem services study has been conducted on the species.
