Common Wall Cress
<em>Arabidopsis thaliana</em>, commonly known as common wall cress or thale cress, is a small annual flowering plant in the family Brassicaceae native to Eurasia and Africa, and now naturalized in North America, Australia, and other temperate regions worldwide. The species has become one of the most important model organisms in plant biology and genetics, owing to its small genome size, short generation time of approximately six weeks, prolific seed production, and ease of laboratory cultivation. <em>Arabidopsis thaliana</em> was the first plant to have its complete genome sequenced, in 2000, revolutionizing our understanding of plant molecular biology, development, and physiology. In nature, it typically grows in rocky outcrops, disturbed sandy soils, walls, roadsides, and waste ground, tolerating poor nutrient conditions and a wide range of climates. The plant produces a basal rosette of small ovate leaves, followed by an erect flowering stem bearing tiny white four-petaled flowers and slender silique seed pods. Despite its modest appearance, <em>Arabidopsis thaliana</em> has facilitated thousands of scientific discoveries in plant genetics, epigenetics, and stress responses. The species is currently assessed as Least Concern by the IUCN. Biological traits such as average lifespan, plant height up to 30 centimeters, and seed output are well-characterized in laboratory settings.
Colibrí cola rojiza
El colibri colirrojo (Amazilia tzacatl) es uno de los colibries mas comunes de Centroamerica y el noroeste de Sudamerica. Es de tamano mediano con partes superiores verdes y una distintiva cola de color naranja rufo brillante. Se distribuye desde Mexico hasta Ecuador y Trinidad en una gran variedad de habitats, incluyendo bordes de bosque, jardines, plantaciones y vegetacion secundaria desde el nivel del mar hasta los 2.100 metros. Defensor agresivo de territorios en comederos y plantas con flores, es frecuentemente observado en jardines de toda su area de distribucion. Clasificado como Preocupacion Menor.
