Biscogniauxia repanda는 죽은 활엽수 수피에 내재된 자낭각이 포함된 납작하고 딱지 형태의 자좌를 형성하는 자낭균류입니다. 참나무, 밤나무 및 기타 활엽수의 죽은 가지와 줄기에 자라며 온대 및 지중해 삼림에 서식합니다. 이 부생 자낭균류는 죽은 활엽수를 분해하고 스트레스를 받거나 손상된 나무에 군생합니다.

Common Cusimanse

<em>Crossarchus obscurus</em>, commonly known as the common cusimanse or long-nosed cusimanse, is a small social mongoose in the family Herpestidae. This species is native to the rainforests and dense tropical forests of West and Central Africa. Common cusimanses are highly social animals that typically live in family groups and forage cooperatively on the forest floor, using their elongated, flexible snouts to root through leaf litter and soil in search of invertebrates, small vertebrates, and fallen fruits. They communicate through a variety of vocalizations and are known to mob and harass potential predators. The species is diurnal and terrestrial, sheltering in burrows or dense vegetation at night. Common cusimanses are assessed as Least Concern by the IUCN, with populations considered stable across their range. Biological traits such as lifespan and body measurements remain poorly documented in the scientific literature.
