Baleia jubarte

Entre as baleias grandes mais acrobáticas, as baleias-jubarte são famosas por seus cantos complexos e evocativos entoados pelos machos durante a temporada reprodutiva, podendo durar horas e evoluir ao longo do tempo. Atingindo 16 metros e 30 toneladas, realizam as migrações mais longas de qualquer mamífero. Encontradas em todos os oceanos, alimentam-se de krill e peixes pequenos usando a técnica cooperativa de rede de bolhas.

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.
