Distributed across Colombia, Ecuador, Norway, and Venezuela.

Collie Jacksonia

Habitat

Typically found in virtually all terrestrial and freshwater habitats.

Black-throated Mango

A large, striking hummingbird of tropical forests from southern Mexico to Argentina, black-throated mangos have dramatic sexual dimorphism — males display glittering black throat and breast with violet and green flanks and a bold purple tail, while females are white below with a central black stripe. Inhabiting forest edges, clearings, and gardens, they aggressively defend flowering trees. Males perform spectacular aerial display flights at treetop height. Listed as Least Concern across their broad neotropical range.

Collie Jacksonia

<em>Jacksonia velveta</em>, commonly known as Collie Jacksonia, is a plant species belonging to the genus <em>Jacksonia</em> within the family Fabaceae. This species is classified as Endangered, reflecting significant concern over its population status and the ongoing threats it faces within its native range. It has been documented in terrestrial and freshwater-associated habitat types, suggesting association with diverse environmental conditions typical of its region. <em>Jacksonia</em> species are generally shrubs or small trees native to Australia, and members of this genus are frequently found in heathland and woodland communities where they contribute to ground-cover vegetation. Specific country-level records are not detailed in current documentation for this species. Dietary behavior is not applicable to plant organisms; however, like other legumes, <em>Jacksonia velveta</em> may engage in nitrogen fixation through root-associated symbioses. Biological traits of this species remain poorly documented in the scientific literature. Conservation efforts for Endangered plant species such as <em>Jacksonia velveta</em> typically focus on habitat protection and restoration.
