Habitat & Geographic Range

Habitat

Typically found in forest floors, decomposing wood, and soil ecosystems.

Range

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

Onca

Habitat

Found across multiple habitat types including tropical and subtropical moist broadleaf forests, tropical and subtropical dry broadleaf forests, and tropical and subtropical grasslands and savannas, among 6 distinct biome types spanning the Neotropic and Oceanian realms. Populations are also found in montane and highland environments at higher elevations.

Range

Distributed across Colombia, Ecuador, and Venezuela. Listed as Near Threatened, this species requires ongoing monitoring to prevent population decline.

Clavaria pullei is a coral fungus in the family Clavariaceae with a tropical distribution, described from specimens collected in South America and named for August Adriaan Pulle, a Dutch botanist who contributed extensively to knowledge of Surinamese flora. The genus Clavaria in the broad sense includes a diverse array of simple-clavate to sparingly branched fruiting bodies that occur across tropical, subtropical, and temperate forest soils and grasslands worldwide. Tropical Clavaria species are less well studied than their temperate counterparts, and the taxonomy of the group in South America remains incompletely resolved. Clavaria pullei likely occupies a saprotrophic niche in humid forest ecosystems, decomposing leaf litter and organic debris on the forest floor. Fruiting bodies are typically small, slender, and whitish to pale buff, though precise morphological details depend on the type specimen. The species reflects broader patterns of fungal diversity in neotropical forests, where the majority of fungal biodiversity remains undescribed or poorly documented. Conservation status has not been formally evaluated, and little is known about the ecology, population size, or current distribution of this species beyond the original type description.

Onca

O maior felino das Américas, atingindo até 100 kg com corpo robusto e musculoso e pelagem com padrão de rosetas característico. Encontrado do México até a América do Sul, com populações mais expressivas na Amazônia e no Pantanal. Nadadores poderosos e predadores de topo, os jaguares desempenham papel fundamental na regulação das populações de presas. Classificado como Quase Ameaçado, com sua área de ocorrência diminuindo devido ao desmatamento.
