Dyadobacter jiangsuensis is a Gram-negative, orange-pigmented bacterium in the family Cytophagaceae, first isolated from soil samples in Jiangsu Province, China. It is aerobic, rod-shaped, and non-motile, with the capacity to degrade polysaccharides in its soil environment. The genus Dyadobacter is part of the diverse Bacteroidetes phylum widely distributed in terrestrial and freshwater habitats.

Speckled Hummingbird

A medium-sized hummingbird with speckled or spotted underparts — unusual among hummingbirds dominated by plain or iridescent plumages — speckled hummingbirds inhabit cloud forest and forest edges in the Andes from Colombia and Venezuela south to Bolivia at elevations of 900–3,000 meters. The spotted underpart pattern provides remarkable camouflage when the bird perches on lichen-covered bark. They forage on nectar and small arthropods and are important pollinators of Andean epiphytes.
