This makes me uncomfortable, like I just aggro’d a whole roomful of mobs…

Every Cybertronian in my head just cringed. I’m pretty sure these are some really hellaciously dangerous Cybertronian flora.

These are metallovores, like scraplets, but where scraplets are airborne piranhas these are something like a sundew, which traps its prey in these grasping fronds and slowly dissolves the frame over hours and days. Some adventurous Cybertronians keep them in their gardens. They enjoy the heat━━if you’re in the polar regions, you’d best invest in a greenhouse.

INCT CENBAM (Centro de Estudos da Biodiversidade Amazônica) (Centre for Amazonian Biodivesity Studies) was created in 2009 with the principle objective of consolidating outputs based on firm scientific knowledge that start with biodiversity studies and end with information, products and processes that are useful to specific users in the short, medium and long-term. It coordinates a network of Amazonian and extra-Amazonian institutions involved in biodiversity studies.

Programa de Pesquisa em Biodiversidade (PPBio) was created in 2004 with the aims of furthering biodiversity studies in Brazil, decentralizing scientific production from already-developed academic centers, integrating research activities and disseminating results across a variety of purposes, including environmental management and education.
