Populations are also found in montane and highland environments at higher elevations.

Range

Widely distributed across Asia (Taiwan), Europe (5 countries), and South America (Colombia, Ecuador, Venezuela). Currently classified as Vulnerable on the IUCN Red List, this species faces significant conservation challenges across its range.

Collins' rockcress

Habitat

Typically found in diverse terrestrial habitats from tropical forests to temperate regions.

Range

Found in Canada.

大翅鯨

座头鲸是大型鲸类中最具杂技表演性的物种之一，以繁殖季节雄性演唱的复杂而神秘的歌声著称，歌声有时持续数小时并随时间演变。体长可达16米，体重30吨，进行着哺乳动物中最长距离的洄游。分布于所有大洋，通过协作泡泡网捕食磷虾和小鱼。种群数量已从历史捕鲸后大体恢复。

Collins' rockcress

<em>Boechera collinsii</em>, commonly known as Collins' rockcress, is a plant species belonging to the genus <em>Boechera</em> within the family Brassicaceae, which includes mustards and related flowering plants. This species has been documented in Canada, where it inhabits diverse terrestrial environments. Members of the genus <em>Boechera</em> are typically herbaceous perennials or biennials adapted to rocky outcrops, cliff faces, talus slopes, and open woodland habitats, often tolerating thin, well-drained soils where competition from other vegetation is limited. The species has not been formally assessed for conservation status by major evaluation bodies. As a flowering plant, <em>Boechera collinsii</em> does not engage in dietary behavior in the traditional sense; it produces energy through photosynthesis and may support pollinators and herbivores as part of its native ecosystem. Biological traits of this species remain poorly documented in the scientific literature. Further botanical surveys in Canadian habitats are needed to clarify the distribution, population status, and ecological interactions of <em>Boechera collinsii</em>.
