Temenis Laothoe
''Temenis'' is a genus of butterflies in the family Nymphalidae, it consists of three species. It was first described by Jacob Hübner in 1819. Members of the genus ''Temenis'' are found throughout Central and South America. Description The genus ''Temenis'' is a member of the tribe Epiphilini, of the subgenus Biblidinae. The type species is ''Papilio merione'', a former synonym of ''Temenis laothoe''. It is closely related to butterflies in the genera '' Epiphile'' and '' Nica'', only distinguished from one another due to morphological differences in the larval stage. Previously, the genus was considered close to the genera ''Epiphile'', as well as ''Catonephele'', ''Cybdelis'', '' Myscelia'', '' Pseudonica'', and '' Pyrrhogyra'' in a group dubbed the "Catonephelinae" by Ebert. There are three members that consist of the genus, the members of which can be differentiated through differences in wing patterning and structure.

Haematera Pyrame
''Haematera pyrame'' is a South American species of butterflies belonging to the family Nymphalidae. It was first described by Johan Christian Fabricius in 1781 under the name ''Papilio pyramus'', which was preoccupied (by the species now known as ''Tarsoctenus corytus''). Jacob Hübner designated a slightly modified replacement name. As currently prescribed, it is the only species in the genus ''Haematera''. Description Upperside: Antennae brown. Thorax and abdomen dark brown. Anterior wings at the extremities black, but next the body red brown, the middle being occupied by a band which crosses them of a beautiful red, extending to the middle of the posterior ones, the remaining parts of which are of a fine blueish purple. Underside: Palpi, legs, breast, and abdomen white. Anterior wings next the body yellowish brown, the tips the same. The red band is not so strong on this side as on the upper, neither does it extend to the inferior wings, but is bordered with black on ...

Vagrancy (biology)
Vagrancy is a phenomenon in biology whereby an individual animal (usually a bird) appears well outside its normal range (biology), range; they are known as vagrants. The term accidental is sometimes also used. There are a number of poorly understood factors which might cause an animal to become a vagrant, including internal causes such as navigatory errors (endogenous vagrancy) and external causes such as severe weather (exogenous vagrancy). Vagrancy events may lead to colonisation and eventually to speciation. Birds In the Northern Hemisphere, adult birds (possibly inexperienced younger adults) of many species are known to continue past their normal breeding range during their spring migration and end up in areas further north (such birds are termed spring overshoots). In autumn, some young birds, instead of heading to their usual wintering grounds, take "incorrect" courses and migrate through areas which are not on their normal migration path. For example, Siberian passeri ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Atlantic Forest
The Atlantic Forest ( pt, Mata Atlântica) is a South American forest that extends along the Atlantic coast of Brazil from Rio Grande do Norte state in the northeast to Rio Grande do Sul state in the south and inland as far as Paraguay and the Misiones Province of Argentina, where the region is known as Selva Misionera. The Atlantic Forest has ecoregions within the following biome categories: seasonal moist and dry broad-leaf tropical forests, tropical and subtropical grasslands, savannas, and shrublands, and mangrove forests. The Atlantic Forest is characterized by a high biodiversity and endemism. It was the first environment that the Portuguese colonists encountered over 500 years ago, when it was thought to have had an area of , and stretching an unknown distance inland, making it, back then, the second largest rainforest on the planet, only behind the Amazon rainforest. Over 85% of the original area has been deforested, threatening many plant and animal species with ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Cardiospermum
''Cardiospermum'' is a genus of approximately 14 species in the soapberry family, Sapindaceae, which are native to the American, Indian, and African tropics.

Sapindaceae
The Sapindaceae are a family of flowering plants in the order Sapindales known as the soapberry family. It contains 138 genera and 1858 accepted species. Examples include horse chestnut, maples, ackee and lychee. The Sapindaceae occur in temperate to tropical regions, many in laurel forest habitat, throughout the world. Many are laticiferous, i.e. they contain latex, a milky sap, and many contain mildly toxic saponins with soap-like qualities in either the foliage and/or the seeds, or roots. The largest genera are ''Serjania'', ''Paullinia'', ''Allophylus'' and '' Acer''. Description Plants of this family have a variety of habits, from trees to herbaceous plants to lianas. The leaves of the tropical genera are usually spirally alternate, while those of the temperate maples ('' Acer), Aesculus'', and a few other genera are opposite. They are most often pinnately compound, but are palmately compound in ''Aesculus'', and simply palmate in ''Acer''. The petiole has a swollen ba ...
