Colonial bentgrass

<em>Agrostis capillaris</em>, colonial bentgrass, is a perennial grass in the family Poaceae with an extensive native range across Europe and naturalised populations in North America, South America, and Oceania, including Australia and New Zealand. This species is highly adaptable, colonising tropical and subtropical moist broadleaf forests, temperate grasslands, disturbed soils, roadsides, and cultivated landscapes within the Neotropical realm. It is assessed as Least Concern by the IUCN. Colonial bentgrass is a fine-leaved, low-growing species often used in lawn and sports turf applications due to its tolerance for close mowing and its capacity to form dense, even swards. Its panicle inflorescences bear numerous small spikelets on delicate, hair-like branches, giving the species a feathery appearance when in flower. In its naturalised range, <em>Agrostis capillaris</em> can become invasive, competing with native grass species in acid grasslands and open heathlands. The species tolerates acidic and nutrient-poor soils, attributes that contribute to its widespread persistence in degraded landscapes. Biological traits of this species remain poorly documented in the scientific literature.

Брахиотеутис обыкновенный

<em>Brachioteuthis riisei</em>, commonly known as the Common Arm Squid, is a cephalopod mollusk in the family Brachioteuthidae. This species is classified as Data Deficient on the IUCN Red List, reflecting significant gaps in knowledge about its population size, ecology, and distribution. Records of this species have been reported from waters off Chile and Norway, suggesting a broad oceanic distribution. Common Arm Squids are typically mesopelagic or bathypelagic organisms, inhabiting the open ocean at considerable depths during the day and often migrating toward shallower waters at night to feed. Like other oceanic squids, they are likely important components of marine food webs, serving as both predators of small fish and invertebrates and as prey for larger marine predators such as cetaceans and seabirds. The Data Deficient listing underscores the need for additional research into the biology, population dynamics, and conservation requirements of this understudied species. Biological traits of this species remain poorly documented in the scientific literature.
