Habitat & Geographic Range

Alequim

Habitat

Found across multiple habitat types including tropical and subtropical moist broadleaf forests, temperate broadleaf and mixed forests, and temperate grasslands and steppes, among 9 distinct biome types spanning the Indomalayan and Neotropic and Palearctic realms. Populations are also found in montane and highland environments at higher elevations.

Range

Distributed across Chile, Norway, Portugal, and Taiwan. Currently classified as Vulnerable on the IUCN Red List, this species faces significant conservation challenges across its range.

arabidópsis

Habitat

Typically found in diverse terrestrial habitats from tropical forests to temperate regions.

Range

Widely distributed across Africa (South Africa), Asia (Japan, Taiwan), Europe (11 countries), North America (Canada, United States), Oceania and the Pacific (Australia), and South America (Brazil, Chile).

Alequim

O tubarão-branco é o maior peixe predador da Terra, podendo atingir 6 metros de comprimento e 2.000 kg, habitando águas costeiras e oceânicas frias em todos os principais oceanos. São predadores de topo que empregam ataques de emboscada por baixo, direcionados principalmente a mamíferos marinhos, peixes de grande porte e aves marinhas. Apesar de sua terrível reputação, ataques não provocados a humanos são extremamente raros. Classificado como Vulnerável (VU), com populações em declínio devido ao corte de barbatanas, captura acidental e pesca direcionada, apesar das proteções legais vigentes em muitas jurisdições.

arabidópsis

<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.
