clouded-bordered brindle

The clouded bordered brindle (Apamea crenata) is a noctuid moth in the family Noctuidae found across temperate Europe and across northern Asia to Japan. The adult wingspan measures approximately 38–45 mm, with intricately patterned grey-brown and buff forewings bearing subtle cross-lines, a scalloped (crenate) outer margin giving the species its name, and distinctive reniform and orbicular markings characteristic of the Apamea genus. Adults fly in one generation from May to July, visiting flowers for nectar at night. The larvae feed internally within the stems and roots of grasses, particularly Brachypodium and other coarse grass species in woodland rides, woodland margins, and rough grassland habitats. Overwintering occurs as a larva within plant stems. Like many grass-feeding noctuids, the clouded bordered brindle requires structural diversity in its grassland and woodland edge habitats, with areas of tall, tussocky grasses providing both larval foodplants and adult shelter. Population trends in parts of its European range reflect changes in land management affecting coarse grassland and woodland ride quality.

Collins' Squirrel Monkey

<em>Saimiri collinsi</em>, commonly known as Collins' Squirrel Monkey, is a primate species belonging to the genus <em>Saimiri</em> within the family Cebidae. Squirrel monkeys are small, highly social New World primates known for their agility in forest canopies and their complex group dynamics. This species is assessed as Least Concern by major conservation bodies, indicating that its populations are not currently considered at high risk of decline, though ongoing deforestation and habitat fragmentation in Amazonian regions may affect future population stability. Collins' Squirrel Monkey inhabits diverse terrestrial and aquatic-adjacent environments typical of tropical forest ecosystems in South America. Specific country-level distributional records are not detailed in current documentation. Dietary information specific to this species has not been recorded, though squirrel monkeys in general are omnivorous, consuming insects, small vertebrates, fruits, and other plant material. Biological traits of this species remain poorly documented in the scientific literature. Research into the taxonomy and ecology of <em>Saimiri collinsi</em> continues to refine understanding of squirrel monkey diversity.
