Found across multiple habitat types including tropical and subtropical moist broadleaf forests, tropical and subtropical dry broadleaf forests, and flooded grasslands and savannas, among 5 distinct biome types within the Neotropic biogeographic realm. Populations are also found in montane and highland environments at higher elevations.
Found in Ecuador. Currently classified as Vulnerable on the IUCN Red List, this species faces significant conservation challenges across its range.
Herzsporiges Fadenkeulchen
Typically found in forest floors, decomposing wood, and soil ecosystems.
Distributed across Denmark, Norway, and Sweden.
Giraffe
The tallest living animal on Earth, giraffes can reach 5.5 meters in height and weigh up to 1,750 kg. Their elongated necks — containing the same seven cervical vertebrae as all mammals — evolved for feeding on acacia trees in African savannas and woodlands. Social animals living in loose herds with no permanent bonds, giraffes communicate through infrasound and body language. Vulnerable, with populations declining due to habitat loss and poaching.
Herzsporiges Fadenkeulchen
Typhula culmigena is a small club fungus in the family Typhulaceae, producing tiny, stalked fruitbodies on dead grass stems and culms in damp woodland and grassland environments. It is a saprotrophic species contributing to the decomposition of grass litter in temperate regions. Assessed as Least Concern, it is distributed across Europe and North America.
