Um grande e marcante beija-flor de florestas tropicais do sul do México à Argentina, os manga-de-garganta-preta apresentam marcado dimorfismo sexual — os machos exibem garganta e peito negro brilhante com flancos violáceos e verdes e uma cauda roxa destacada, enquanto as fêmeas são brancas na parte inferior com uma faixa preta central. Habitam bordas de floresta, clareiras e jardins, defendendo agressivamente árvores em floração. Os machos realizam espetaculares voos de exibição na altura do dossel da floresta. Classificado como Pouco Preocupante em toda a sua ampla área de distribuição neotropical.

Common Juniper (<em>Juniperus communis</em>) is a coniferous shrub or small tree in the family Cupressaceae and one of the most widely distributed woody plants in the Northern Hemisphere. It is classified as Vulnerable on the IUCN Red List, indicating population declines driven by habitat loss, overgrazing, and changes in land management. The species has a remarkably broad native range spanning Africa (Libya), Europe (six countries), North America (United States), Oceania (Australia), and South America (Argentina and Brazil). It typically inhabits six distinct biome types and occurs within both the Neotropic and Palearctic biogeographic realms. Common Juniper grows in heathlands, rocky slopes, calcareous grasslands, open woodlands, and alpine environments, often colonizing nutrient-poor soils where competition from other plants is limited. Its berries are widely used as a flavoring for gin and in traditional cuisine. Biological traits of this species remain poorly documented in the scientific literature.
