Halsband-Springaffe

The Collared Titi, known scientifically as <em>Cheracebus torquatus</em>, is a small New World monkey belonging to the family Pitheciidae. <em>Cheracebus torquatus</em> is characterised by its typically dense, soft fur and a pale or white collar or band around the neck and throat region, which gives the species its common and scientific names. Titi monkeys are generally arboreal and highly social, typically living in small family groups occupying territories in forested habitats. They are known for their distinctive pair-bonding behaviour and loud territorial vocalisations. The species inhabits diverse terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems. Detailed biological traits including typical lifespan, body length, and weight are poorly documented for this species in available literature. The Collared Titi is currently assessed as Least Concern on the IUCN Red List.

Gebräuchlicher Eibisch

<em>Althaea officinalis</em>, the common marsh mallow, is a tall perennial herb in the family Malvaceae, native to Europe and western Asia and now widely distributed across Africa, Asia, Europe, North America, and South America. It is classified as Near Threatened on the IUCN Red List. This species typically grows in saltmarshes, brackish ditches, damp meadows, and coastal habitats, and is also cultivated in gardens for its ornamental and medicinal properties. Common marsh mallow produces pale pink, five-petalled flowers and lobed, velvety leaves covered in soft hairs. It has a long history of medicinal use, with roots, leaves, and flowers employed to soothe mucous membranes and treat respiratory and digestive ailments. The original marshmallow confection was prepared from the mucilaginous root extract of this species. It grows in a range of biome types including grasslands, wetlands, and forest edges. Habitat loss, particularly of coastal wetlands, represents the primary pressure on populations across its native range.
