Africano
Found across multiple habitat types including tropical and subtropical moist broadleaf forests, temperate broadleaf and mixed forests, and temperate grasslands and steppes, among 9 distinct biome types spanning the Indomalayan and Neotropic and Palearctic realms. Populations are also found in montane and highland environments at higher elevations.
Distributed across Chile, Norway, Portugal, and Taiwan. Currently classified as Vulnerable on the IUCN Red List, this species faces significant conservation challenges across its range.
Papamoscas Collarino

Africano
El gran tiburón blanco es el pez depredador más grande de la Tierra, capaz de alcanzar 6 metros de longitud y 2.000 kg de peso, habitando aguas costeras y oceánicas frescas en todos los océanos principales. Son depredadores de alto nivel que emplean ataques en emboscada desde abajo, dirigidos principalmente a mamíferos marinos, peces de gran tamaño y aves marinas. A pesar de su temible reputación, los ataques no provocados a humanos son extremadamente raros. Está clasificado como Vulnerable (VU), con poblaciones en declive por la pesca de aletas, la captura incidental y la pesca dirigida, a pesar de las protecciones legales vigentes en muchas jurisdicciones.
Papamoscas Collarino
<em>Ficedula albicollis</em>, the Collared Flycatcher, is a migratory passerine bird in the family Muscicapidae. This species is assessed as Least Concern on the IUCN Red List. It breeds across central and eastern Europe, with documented occurrences in Belgium, Denmark, Latvia, Norway, and Sweden, and winters in sub-Saharan Africa. The species inhabits deciduous and mixed forests, where it nests in tree cavities. The Collared Flycatcher is named for the broad white collar displayed by breeding males, which also show a black back and cap contrasting with white underparts. It is an aerial insectivore, catching flying insects in short sallies from exposed perches. <em>Ficedula albicollis</em> has been extensively studied as a model species in ecology and evolutionary biology, particularly regarding sexual selection, life history trade-offs, and the effects of climate change on migratory timing. Diet, population estimates, and biological measurements such as average length, weight, and lifespan are not specified in the available records. Its Least Concern status reflects stable European breeding populations.
