Common Wall Cress

<em>Arabidopsis thaliana</em>, commonly known as common wall cress or thale cress, is a small annual flowering plant in the family Brassicaceae native to Eurasia and Africa, and now naturalized in North America, Australia, and other temperate regions worldwide. The species has become one of the most important model organisms in plant biology and genetics, owing to its small genome size, short generation time of approximately six weeks, prolific seed production, and ease of laboratory cultivation. <em>Arabidopsis thaliana</em> was the first plant to have its complete genome sequenced, in 2000, revolutionizing our understanding of plant molecular biology, development, and physiology. In nature, it typically grows in rocky outcrops, disturbed sandy soils, walls, roadsides, and waste ground, tolerating poor nutrient conditions and a wide range of climates. The plant produces a basal rosette of small ovate leaves, followed by an erect flowering stem bearing tiny white four-petaled flowers and slender silique seed pods. Despite its modest appearance, <em>Arabidopsis thaliana</em> has facilitated thousands of scientific discoveries in plant genetics, epigenetics, and stress responses. The species is currently assessed as Least Concern by the IUCN. Biological traits such as average lifespan, plant height up to 30 centimeters, and seed output are well-characterized in laboratory settings.

Red-crested Cardinal

붉은볏홍관조(Paroaria coronata)는 선명한 붉은 볏, 흰 얼굴, 회색 몸을 가진 눈에 띄는 중형 조류로, 볼리비아·브라질에서 아르헨티나에 이르는 남아메리카가 원산지다. 하와이와 기타 태평양 섬들에 도입되어 호놀룰루의 상징적인 정원새가 되었다. 덤불 가장자리, 초원, 교외 정원에 서식하며 씨앗과 소형 곤충을 먹는다. 이름과 외관의 유사성에도 불구하고 북아메리카 홍관조와 근연종이 아닌 탠저 과에 속한다.
