Brazilian agouti

The Brazilian agouti (Dasyprocta leporina) is a species in the genus Dasyprocta. It is currently classified as Least Concern on the IUCN Red List. Inhabits tropical and subtropical moist broadleaf forests within the Neotropic biogeographic realm.

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.
