Range

Distributed across Belgium, Denmark, Norway, and Sweden.

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.

Clitocybe marginella is a small agaric fungus in the family Tricholomataceae found in temperate European woodland and semi-open habitats. Like many members of the diverse Clitocybe genus, it produces modest fruiting bodies with a depressed to funnel-shaped cap and decurrent gills running down the stipe, typically whitish to pale buff in coloration. The species fruits in autumn, colonizing leaf litter, humus-rich soils, and woodland margins where it functions as a saprotrophic decomposer. The epithet marginella may reference subtle marginal features of the cap or gills that help distinguish it from closely related species. Identification within this genus typically requires microscopic examination of spore size and shape, along with assessment of odor, taste, and substrate preferences. European Clitocybe diversity is significant, with dozens of species recorded across forest, grassland, and heathland habitats. C. marginella contributes to the intricate web of decomposer fungi that recycle nutrients in temperate forest ecosystems throughout Northwestern and Central Europe.

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.
