Habitat & Geographic Range
Brown Spider Monkey
Found across multiple habitat types including tropical and subtropical moist broadleaf forests, tropical and subtropical dry broadleaf forests, and tropical and subtropical grasslands and savannas, among 6 distinct biome types spanning the Neotropic and Oceanian realms. Populations are also found in montane and highland environments at higher elevations.
Distributed across Colombia and Venezuela. Currently classified as Critically Endangered on the IUCN Red List, this species faces significant conservation challenges across its range.
Common thrip
Typically found in virtually all terrestrial and freshwater habitats.
Distributed across Denmark, Norway, Sweden, and United States.

Common thrip
<em>Thrips trehernei</em> is a species of thrips in the order Thysanoptera, family Thripidae, recorded from Denmark, Norway, Sweden, and the United States. It is Not Evaluated on the IUCN Red List. Relatively little is known about the ecology and biology of this species compared to economically significant thrips. Like other thysanopterans, it is likely a plant feeder, inhabiting flowers, foliage, or bark surfaces of host plants in temperate regions where it occurs. The genus <em>Thrips</em> is large and diverse, with many species associated with specific plant hosts or habitats. This species has been recorded from Scandinavian and North American localities, suggesting a trans-Atlantic distribution, possibly facilitated through plant trade or natural dispersal. Adult thrips are minute insects typically measuring 1–2 millimeters in length, with characteristically fringed wings. Biological traits such as precise host plant associations, body weight, lifespan, reproductive output, and generation time remain poorly documented in standardized scientific assessments for <em>Thrips trehernei</em> specifically.
