Common brighteyes

Common brighteyes (<em>Reichardia picroides</em>) is a perennial herb species found in Portugal, Sweden, and the United States, typically inhabiting diverse terrestrial environments across its range. As a member of the family Asteraceae, this species often produces yellow dandelion-like flowerheads and is commonly found in open, dry, and disturbed habitats such as roadsides, waste ground, and coastal areas. The common brighteyes has not been formally evaluated on the IUCN Red List. Originally native to the Mediterranean basin and parts of the Middle East, the species has spread to numerous other regions where it is considered naturalized. It typically grows in well-drained soils in full sunlight, showing a preference for rocky or sandy substrates in coastal and inland locations. The species is often associated with ruderal habitats and represents an adaptable pioneer in disturbed ecosystems. Biological traits of this species remain poorly documented in the scientific literature.

Epaulard

O maior membro da família dos golfinhos, as orcas (Orcinus orca) podem atingir até 9 metros de comprimento e 6 toneladas, sendo encontradas em todos os oceanos, do Ártico ao Antártico. Predadores de topo que vivem em grupos matrilineares com dialetos distintos, estratégias de caça e tradições culturais que diferem entre populações. Algumas populações se especializam em peixes, outras em mamíferos marinhos. Sem predadores naturais, as orcas ocupam o topo de todas as cadeias alimentares marinhas que habitam.
