Common Grapevine

<em>Vitis vinifera</em>, commonly known as the common grapevine, is a woody climbing vine belonging to the genus Vitis within the family Vitaceae. This species occupies diverse terrestrial habitats from tropical forests to temperate regions and has one of the widest cultivated distributions of any plant species. Its range spans Africa, Asia including India, Taiwan, and Yemen, twenty-two European countries, North America, five Oceanian territories, and five South American nations. Common grapevine is assessed as Least Concern on the IUCN Red List. The species is of enormous agricultural and cultural significance, being the primary source of wine grapes cultivated globally for millennia. Wild populations typically colonize woodland edges and scrubland. Biological traits of this species remain poorly documented in the scientific literature.

호주 동부와 동남부의 상징적인 유대류로, 체중이 최대 15kg이며 저칼로리인 유칼립투스 잎 식단에서 에너지를 절약하기 위해 하루 최대 22시간을 잠으로 보낸다. 대부분의 다른 포유류를 죽일 수 있는 유독한 유칼립투스 성분을 처리하도록 고도로 특화되어, 해독에 특별히 적응된 장내 미생물총을 지닌다. 2022년 기후 변화, 서식지 개발, 클라미디아 감염으로 인한 개체수 감소로 위기종으로 지정되었다.
