Brown Titi
The Brown Titi (Plecturocebus brunneus) is a species in the genus Plecturocebus. It is currently classified as Vulnerable on the IUCN Red List. Typically found in diverse terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems.
Common Larch
Common Larch (<em>Larix decidua</em>) is a deciduous conifer in the family Pinaceae, distinguished among conifers by its seasonal needle drop. Its native range spans Asia (Armenia and Turkey), eighteen European countries, North America (Canada and the United States), and Oceania (New Zealand), encompassing a broad latitudinal range across temperate and boreal zones. The species typically inhabits temperate and boreal forests, often at higher elevations in montane and subalpine zones where it tolerates cold, short growing seasons and well-drained mineral soils. Common Larch is an important timber tree and is widely planted in forestry and as an ornamental species. Its golden autumn foliage is a distinctive feature of mountain landscapes in the Alps and Carpathians. The conservation status of this species has not been formally evaluated by the IUCN. It plays an ecological role in structuring montane forest communities and providing habitat for numerous associated species. Biological traits of this species remain poorly documented in the scientific literature.
