<em>Aplysia punctata</em>, the common sea hare, is a large opisthobranch sea slug in the family Aplysiidae, order Aplysiida, found in the northeastern Atlantic Ocean and Mediterranean Sea, with confirmed records from Denmark, Norway, Portugal, and Sweden. This species typically inhabits shallow subtidal and intertidal zones with abundant macroalgae, feeding primarily on red and green algae — a diet that influences the color of the defensive purple ink it secretes when threatened. <em>Aplysia punctata</em> is a simultaneous hermaphrodite, capable of acting as both male and female during mating, and often forms mating chains involving multiple individuals. It can reach considerable size among European opisthobranch species, though body dimensions vary considerably with age and feeding conditions. The species is classified as Least Concern by the IUCN, reflecting stable populations across its coastal range. Biological traits for this species remain poorly documented in the scientific literature, including precise average data on lifespan, body length, weight, and detailed seasonal dietary patterns, though its general herbivorous feeding on macroalgae is well established.

Orbilia comma es un diminuto hongo discomiceto que produce pequeños cuerpos fructíferos en forma de copa, translúcidos a amarillo pálido, sobre madera en descomposición y residuos vegetales en ambientes forestales húmedos. Pertenece a un género de hongos pequeños e inconspicuos que desempeñan un papel en la descomposición de materia orgánica en el suelo forestal. Clasificado como Casi Amenazado (NT), su estado refleja sensibilidad a los cambios en la gestión forestal y la pérdida de hábitat.
