The Blackthorn Mining Bee (Andrena varians) is a species in the genus Andrena. It is currently classified as Least Concern on the IUCN Red List. Distributed across Denmark, Luxembourg, Norway, and Sweden.

Salinicoccus roseus is a pink to rose-pigmented, halophilic Gram-positive coccus found in saline habitats.

This aerobic chemoheterotroph produces carotenoid pigments that may protect it from high-intensity sunlight in its exposed saline environment.
