Habitat & Geographic Range

Common Forget-Me-Not

Habitat

Typically found in diverse terrestrial habitats from tropical forests to temperate regions.

Range

Widely distributed across Africa (South Africa), Asia (Japan, Taiwan), Europe (18 countries), North America (Canada, United States), Oceania and the Pacific (Australia), and South America (Chile, Peru).

Lobo gris

Habitat

Found across multiple habitat types including tropical and subtropical moist broadleaf forests, deserts and xeric shrublands, and tropical and subtropical dry broadleaf forests, among 13 distinct biome types. Populations are also found in montane and highland environments at higher elevations.

Range

Widely distributed across Africa (Seychelles), Asia (Japan), Europe (5 countries), North America (7 countries), Oceania and the Pacific (Marshall Islands, Vanuatu), and South America (5 countries). Currently classified as Critically Endangered on the IUCN Red List, this species faces significant conservation challenges across its range.

Common Forget-Me-Not

<em>Myosotis arvensis</em> is an annual or biennial herbaceous plant in the family Boraginaceae, order Boraginales, commonly known as the field forget-me-not or common forget-me-not. The species is classified as Least Concern on the IUCN Red List, with widespread stable populations. <em>Myosotis arvensis</em> has a cosmopolitan distribution, recorded across Africa, Asia, Europe, North America, Oceania, and South America, where it has been widely naturalized beyond its native European and West Asian range. The plant typically grows in disturbed habitats including arable fields, roadsides, gardens, hedgerows, and open woodland, tolerating a broad range of soil types. It produces characteristic small, sky-blue five-petaled flowers with a yellow center, borne on curved, scorpioid cymes that straighten as the flowers open — a feature typical of the borage family. The plant typically reaches 15 to 40 centimeters in height and is covered in soft, spreading hairs. Biological traits of this species remain poorly documented in the scientific literature.

Lobo gris

El lobo gris (Canis lupus), el cánido silvestre más ampliamente distribuido, se extiende desde América del Norte a través de Eurasia en hábitats diversos que incluyen la tundra, bosques y praderas. Son animales altamente sociales que viven en manadas familiares lideradas por una pareja reproductora dominante. Como depredadores clave, los lobos regulan las poblaciones de presas y moldean profundamente la estructura del ecosistema, como demostró su reintroducción en Yellowstone. Antes muy perseguidos, las poblaciones se están recuperando en muchas regiones.
