Abert's Squirrel

The Abert's Squirrel (Sciurus aberti) is a species in the genus Sciurus. It is currently classified as Least Concern on the IUCN Red List. It typically inhabits diverse terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems.

Ensifer shofinae is a nitrogen-fixing alphaproteobacterium in the family Rhizobiaceae, capable of forming symbiotic nodules on leguminous plant roots. Like other Ensifer species, it fixes atmospheric nitrogen in exchange for carbon compounds from its host plant, making it ecologically important in low-nitrogen soils. It was isolated from root nodules and characterized based on molecular and phenotypic traits.
