The Atlantic Deep-sea Lobster (Acanthacaris caeca) is a species in the genus Acanthacaris. It is currently classified as Least Concern on the IUCN Red List. Typically found in marine, freshwater, and terrestrial environments.

Pyrenula nitida is a corticolous crustose lichen producing a smooth, glossy olive-green to brown thallus with embedded, flask-shaped perithecia on smooth bark of ancient broadleaf trees in humid Atlantic woodland. It is considered a flagship indicator species for long-continuity, old-growth woodland in western Europe. Endangered, this lichen is severely threatened by the loss of veteran trees and ancient woodland habitats.
