Chestnut-fronted Macaw

A medium-sized macaw of Central and South American tropical forests from southern Mexico to Bolivia and Brazil, chestnut-fronted macaws have predominantly green plumage with a chestnut forehead, red shoulder patches, and blue flight feathers. The smallest of the true macaws, they inhabit forest edges, savannas, and secondary woodland and often raid crops, making them locally unpopular with farmers. They are popular aviary birds, but wild populations face pressure from trapping and deforestation.

Micromonospora globbae is a filamentous actinobacterium first isolated from the roots of Globba winitii, a Thai ginger plant. It inhabits plant root endosphere environments in tropical Southeast Asian soils. This aerobic chemoheterotroph may form endophytic associations with its host plant while decomposing organic matter.
