2025年,发现了125个新的植物和真菌物种,突显了在生境丧失猖獗情况下的紧急养护需要。 In 2025, 125 new plant and fungal species were discovered, highlighting urgent conservation needs amid rampant habitat loss.

2025年,科学家查明了125个新的植物和真菌物种,包括一个模仿女性苍蝇的血染兰花,一个从蜘蛛尸体中喷出的巴西僵尸真菌,以及秘鲁的一个以Ghibli工作室火魔命名的明亮橙色灌木。 In 2025, scientists identified 125 new plant and fungal species, including a bloodstained orchid that mimics female flies, a zombie fungus from Brazil that erupts from spider corpses, and a bright orange shrub from Peru named after a Studio Ghibli fire demon. 其他发现包括巴布亚新几内亚产的香蕉果、菲律宾产的红棕榈和英国花园发现的濒临灭绝的雪滴。 Other discoveries include a banana-guava-flavored fruit from Papua New Guinea, a red-fruited palm from the Philippines, and a critically endangered snowdrop found in UK gardens. 调查结果突出表明,大量未知物种 -- -- 多达10万个植物和200万至300万真菌 -- -- 受到生境损失、污染和气候变化的威胁,近半数已知植物已经面临危险。 The findings underscore the vast number of unknown species—up to 100,000 plants and 2–3 million fungi—threatened by habitat loss, pollution, and climate change, with nearly half of known plants already at risk. 研究人员强调,命名物种对保护至关重要,因为保护需要科学承认。 Researchers stress that naming species is essential for conservation, as protection requires scientific recognition. 尽管基因组技术有所进步,但发现仍落后于环境破坏,突出表明迫切需要在分类学和生物多样性保护方面加大投资。 Despite advances in genome technology, discovery lags behind environmental destruction, highlighting the urgent need for greater investment in taxonomy and biodiversity preservation.
