Habitat & Geographic Range

Chimpancé

Habitat

Found across multiple habitat types including tropical and subtropical moist broadleaf forests, tropical and subtropical grasslands and savannas, and flooded grasslands and savannas, among 5 distinct biome types within the Afrotropic biogeographic realm. Populations are also found in montane and highland environments at higher elevations.

Range

Distributed across Cameroon, Congo (DRC), Guinea, Tanzania, and Uganda. Currently classified as Endangered on the IUCN Red List, this species faces significant conservation challenges across its range.

babosilla

Habitat

Inhabits deserts and xeric shrublands within the Afrotropic biogeographic realm. Populations are also found in montane and highland environments at higher elevations.

Range

Widely distributed across Africa (18 countries), Asia (18 countries), Europe (Spain), North America (4 countries), Oceania and the Pacific (12 countries), and South America (Brazil, Colombia).

Chimpancé

El pariente vivo más cercano de la humanidad, compartiendo aproximadamente el 98,7% del ADN, los chimpancés habitan los bosques tropicales y las sabanas arbóreas de África central y occidental. Primates altamente inteligentes y sociales que usan y fabrican herramientas, muestran tradiciones culturales y se comunican con vocalizaciones ricas, incluido el distintivo jadeo-grito. En Peligro, con poblaciones que disminuyen debido a la deforestación, la caza de animales silvestres y la transmisión de enfermedades por parte de los humanos.

babosilla

<em>Sida acuta</em>, commonly known as common wireweed or broom jute, is a small woody-based shrub in the family Malvaceae. Its conservation status is listed as Not Evaluated by the IUCN. The species has an extremely broad distribution spanning Africa, Asia, Europe, the Americas, and Oceania, reflecting its status as both a native species in parts of tropical and subtropical regions and a widely naturalized weed in disturbed habitats globally. It typically grows in roadsides, cultivated fields, waste ground, and degraded grasslands in warm climates, often colonizing disturbed and compacted soils where few other plants thrive. <em>Sida acuta</em> is a branching perennial shrub typically reaching 50–100 cm in height, with lance-shaped toothed leaves, small pale yellow five-petaled flowers, and distinctive star-shaped stellate hairs on stems and leaves. The plant produces schizocarp fruits that split into individual hard segments each bearing a seed, facilitating dispersal by animals, water, and machinery. Several parts of the plant are used in traditional medicine across its range for treating a variety of conditions. Biological traits including average lifespan, precise height, and mass remain poorly documented in standardized databases. Ecologically, common wireweed is considered an invasive species in many regions, but also provides small-scale cover and foraging habitat for invertebrates in disturbed environments throughout its vast pantropical and warm-temperate global distribution.
