Populations are also found in montane and highland environments at higher elevations.

Range

Widely distributed across Asia (Indonesia, Japan, United Arab Emirates), Europe (Norway, United Kingdom), North America (Haiti, Jamaica, United States), and South America (Colombia, Ecuador).

Collembola

Habitat

Native to Europe and North America, inhabiting ecosystems characteristic of the region.

Range

Distributed across Denmark, Norway, Sweden, and United States.

Chestnut Munia

풍부한 밤색 갈색 깃털, 검은 머리, 흰 배를 가진 소형 강건한 문조과 핀치로, 인도와 스리랑카에서 동남아시아를 거쳐 필리핀과 대만까지 초원, 논, 개방된 산림 가장자리에 서식한다. 매우 무리 생활을 하며 큰 무리를 형성하고, 때로는 벼농사의 소규모 해충으로 여겨진다. 아시아 전역에서 사육용 새로 널리 사육되며, 사육 및 번식이 비교적 쉽다.

Collembola

<em>Folsomides angularis</em>, commonly referred to as Collembola in reference to its broader taxonomic order, is a springtail species belonging to the genus <em>Folsomides</em>. Springtails are among the most abundant hexapods in terrestrial ecosystems, playing important roles in soil decomposition and nutrient cycling. This species has been documented in Europe, with records from Denmark, Norway, and Sweden, as well as North America, where it is known from the United States. It typically inhabits soil, leaf litter, and decaying organic matter, and is capable of tolerating a range of environmental conditions. Springtails of this group are detritivores, feeding on decomposing plant material, fungal hyphae, and microorganisms, though specific dietary data for <em>Folsomides angularis</em> are not detailed in current records. The species has not been formally assessed for conservation status. Biological traits of this species remain poorly documented in the scientific literature. Its small body size and cryptic lifestyle make detailed ecological study challenging.
