Cabo de Gata-Níjar Natural Park Many species of lark live on the steppe, including the rare Dupont's lark ("Chersophilus duponti") and there are also little bustards ("Tetrax tetrax") and stone curlews ("Burhinus oedicnemus"). Sea birds include yellow-legged gulls ("Larus michahellis"), terns, razorbills ("Alca torda"), shags, the occasional puffin ("Fratercula arctica") and Cory's ("Calonectris diomedea") and Balearic shearwaters ("Puffinus mauretanicus"). The wealth of animal life provides prey for a number of raptors: ospreys ("Pandion haliaetus"), peregrine falcons ("Falco peregrinus"), kestrels ("Falco tinnunculus"), and eagles. Approximately 15 species of reptile are found in the park, including Italian wall lizards ("Podarcis sicula"), ocellated lizards ("Timon lepidus"), grass snakes
Ascochyta tarda Ascochyta tarda Ascochyta tarda or Phoma tarda is a fungal plant pathogen that causes dieback and leafspot on coffee and was first observed in Ethiopia in 1954 (Stewart, 1957). It poses a potentially serious threat to coffee crops, but climate change may reduce the prevalence of environmental conditions favorable to its spread. Die-back is a condition in which a tree or shrub begins to die from the tip of its leaves or roots backwards, owing to disease or an unfavorable environment). Necrosis of both flowers and rosettes is also observed with this pathogen and this can significantly reduce crop yield.
