@Cyanocitta The California quail Callipepla californica is an interesting and visually #appealing #bird of the #Galliformes, as visible in this photo. It is originally distributed along the west coast of #NorthAmerica, but also occurs as a #neozoan in South America, Australia or Corsica. These birds are ground-nesting and mostly #grounddwellers, but #roost in trees. B. Andrews et al. (2023) discuss the #invasive history in #Chile and #Argentina.

#Pseudoscorpions are #interesting and #biologically diverse #arachnids that are often overlooked due to their #smallsize. Many species are #grounddwellers or live in deadwood. The largest #taxon is the #Chernetidae, with approximately 726 extant #species. L. Laibe et al. (2025) described a new species of its genus #Attaleachernes from the eastern #Amazon region and also characterized the #habitat.
