Collins' Squirrel Monkey

<em>Saimiri collinsi</em>, commonly known as Collins' Squirrel Monkey, is a primate species belonging to the genus <em>Saimiri</em> within the family Cebidae. Squirrel monkeys are small, highly social New World primates known for their agility in forest canopies and their complex group dynamics. This species is assessed as Least Concern by major conservation bodies, indicating that its populations are not currently considered at high risk of decline, though ongoing deforestation and habitat fragmentation in Amazonian regions may affect future population stability. Collins' Squirrel Monkey inhabits diverse terrestrial and aquatic-adjacent environments typical of tropical forest ecosystems in South America. Specific country-level distributional records are not detailed in current documentation. Dietary information specific to this species has not been recorded, though squirrel monkeys in general are omnivorous, consuming insects, small vertebrates, fruits, and other plant material. Biological traits of this species remain poorly documented in the scientific literature. Research into the taxonomy and ecology of <em>Saimiri collinsi</em> continues to refine understanding of squirrel monkey diversity.

Usnea cornutaはParmeliaceae科の果状地衣類で、準絶滅危惧(NT)と評価されています。樹木の枝や小枝に垂れ下がる茂み状の葉状体を形成し、主に湿潤な森林環境に生息します。すべてのUsnea属の種と同様に大気汚染、特に二酸化硫黄に対して非常に敏感で、大気質の有用な生物指標として利用されます。
