Found across multiple habitat types including temperate broadleaf and mixed forests, temperate coniferous forests, and boreal forests and taiga, among 4 distinct biome types within the Palearctic biogeographic realm. Populations are also found in montane and highland environments at higher elevations.

Range

Found in Norway. Listed as Near Threatened, this species requires ongoing monitoring to prevent population decline.

Collie Jacksonia

Jacksonia velveta, commonly known as Collie Jacksonia, is a plant species belonging to the genus Jacksonia 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. Jacksonia 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, Jacksonia velveta 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 Jacksonia velveta typically focus on habitat protection and restoration.

Kaiserpinguin

The world's largest penguin, emperor penguins stand up to 1.2 meters and weigh 45 kg, inhabiting the Antarctic continent in some of the most extreme conditions on Earth. They breed in midwinter darkness at temperatures below -60°C, with males incubating single eggs on their feet under a brood pouch for 65 days while females are at sea. Their huddling behavior — cycling individuals through the warm center of thousands-strong groups — is a masterclass in cooperative survival.
