The Aquatic rat (Anotomys leander) is a species in the genus Anotomys. It is currently classified as Endangered on the IUCN Red List. Found across multiple habitat types including tropical and subtropical dry broadleaf forests, flooded grasslands and savannas, and montane grasslands and shrublands, among 4 distinct biome types within the Neotropic biogeographic realm.
Euglena deses is a photosynthetic euglenoid flagellate in the family Euglenaceae, distinguished by its elongate to cylindrical cell body that undergoes pronounced euglenoid movement (metaboly). It inhabits nutrient-rich freshwater habitats, including puddles, ditches, and the surface of damp soil, often forming green biofilms. Its single emergent flagellum propels it toward light to optimize photosynthesis.
