The Araripe Manakin (Antilophia bokermanni) is a species in the genus Antilophia. It is currently classified as Critically Endangered on the IUCN Red List. Typically found in various aerial, terrestrial, and aquatic environments.

Common Sea Groundling

<em>Scrobipalpa nitentella</em>, the common sea groundling, is a small moth in the family Gelechiidae, order Lepidoptera, found along the coastal regions of northwestern Europe, with records from Belgium, Denmark, Norway, and Sweden. This species is characteristically associated with coastal and estuarine habitats, particularly saltmarshes and sandy shores where its larval host plants grow. As a member of the diverse Gelechiidae family, <em>Scrobipalpa nitentella</em> typically completes its life cycle on specific coastal plant species, with larvae feeding on or mining leaves and stems. Adults are small, inconspicuous moths that are active primarily at dusk or night. The species is listed as Least Concern by the IUCN, suggesting it is not currently facing significant population pressures, though its reliance on coastal habitats makes it potentially vulnerable to sea-level rise and coastal habitat degradation. Biological traits for this species remain poorly documented in the scientific literature, including specific data on average lifespan, body size, weight, and the precise identity of all larval host plants across its geographic range.
