Saïmiri À Dos Roux

The Central American Squirrel Monkey (Saimiri oerstedii) is a species in the genus Saimiri. It is currently classified as Endangered on the IUCN Red List.

<em>Juncus compressus</em>, commonly known as the Compressed Rush, is a perennial herbaceous plant in the family Juncaceae, native to temperate regions of Europe and introduced or naturalised across parts of North America. The species typically grows in moist to wet habitats including grasslands, marshes, riverbanks, ditches, and the margins of cultivated land, tolerating periodic flooding and a wide range of soil conditions from loamy to clayey substrates. Its stems are characteristically flattened or compressed in cross-section, a distinguishing feature that gives the plant its common and scientific names. Reproductively, <em>Juncus compressus</em> bears small, brownish flowers arranged in loose, terminal inflorescences, and produces capsule-type fruits containing numerous tiny seeds dispersed by water and wind. The species has a broad geographic distribution across at least seven European countries including Belgium, Denmark, Finland, and Ireland, as well as Canada and the United States in North America. As a primary producer, it plays an ecological role providing cover and food resources for invertebrates, waterfowl, and small mammals in wetland ecosystems. Currently assessed as Least Concern by the IUCN, populations appear stable throughout most of its range, though wetland drainage and agricultural intensification pose localised threats.
