Agrostis media is a species of grass in the family Poaceae. It is found only in Tristan da Cunha. Its natural habitats are subantarctic shrubland, subantarctic grassland, rocky areas, and rocky shores.
The subantarctic fur seal is found in the southern parts of the Indian, Pacific, and Atlantic Oceans. It was first described by Gray in 1872 from a specimen recovered in northern Australia—hence the inappropriate specific name tropicalis.
Agrostis is a large and very nearly cosmopolitan genus of plants in the grass family, found in nearly all the countries in the world. It has been bred as a GMO creeping bent grass.
The brown skua, also known as the Antarctic skua, subantarctic skua, southern great skua, southern skua, or hākoakoa (Māori), is a large seabird that breeds in the subantarctic and Antarctic zones and moves further north when not breeding. Its taxonomy is highly complex and a matter of dispute, with some splitting it into two or three species: Falkland skua, Tristan skua, and subantarctic skua. To further confuse, it hybridizes with both the south polar and Chilean skuas, and the entire group has been considered to be a subspecies of the great skua, a species otherwise restricted to the Northern Hemisphere.
Agrostis stolonifera is a perennial grass species in the family Poaceae.
The Subantarctic snipe is a species of snipe endemic to New Zealand's subantarctic islands. The Maori call it "Tutukiwi". The nominate race C. a. aucklandica is found on the Auckland Islands. Other subspecies include C. a. meinertzhagenae from the Antipodes Islands, and C. a. perseverance from Campbell Island. The former subspecies from the Snares Islands has been separated as a full species, the Snares snipe, as have the extinct South Island and North Island snipes.
Poa annua, or annual meadow grass, is a widespread low-growing turfgrass in temperate climates. Notwithstanding the reference to annual plant in its name, perennial bio-types do exist. This grass may have originated as a hybrid between Poa supina and Poa infirma.
Cotula moseleyi, also known as Nightingale brassbuttons, is a species of flowering plant in the sunflower family. It has been found only in the Tristan da Cunha chain of islands in the South Atlantic Ocean. Its natural habitats are subantarctic forests, subantarctic grassland, rocky shores, and hillsides. It is threatened by habitat loss.
Agrostis goughensis is a species of grass in the family Poaceae. It is found on Gough Island.
Agrostis mannii is a species of grass in the family Poaceae. It is found in Cameroon and Equatorial Guinea. Its natural habitat is subtropical or tropical dry lowland grassland.
Agrostis trachychlaena is a species of grass in the family Poaceae. It is endemic to Inaccessible and Nightingale Islands, Tristan da Cunha. Its natural habitat is subantarctic grassland.
Batrachyla taeniata is a species of frog in the family Batrachylidae. It is found in Argentina and Chile. Its natural habitats are subantarctic forest, temperate forest, temperate shrubland, subantarctic grassland, temperate grassland, swampland, intermittent freshwater marshes, rocky shores, pastureland, rural gardens, and introduced vegetation. It is threatened by habitat loss.
The Bounty shag, also known as the Bounty Island shag, is a species of cormorant of the family Phalacrocoracidae. They are found only on the tiny and remote Subantarctic Bounty Islands, 670 km southeast of New Zealand. Its natural habitats are open seas and rocky shores. In 2005 618 individuals were counted and the population seems to have remained stable since.
Asplenium aequibasis is a species of fern in the family Aspleniaceae. It is found in Tristan da Cunha. Its natural habitat is subantarctic shrubland.
Athyrium medium is a species of fern in the family Athyriaceae. It is found in Tristan da Cunha. Its natural habitat is subantarctic shrubland.
Scirpus bicolor is a species of plant in the sedge family, Cyperaceae. The plant is endemic to Tristan da Cunha, Nightingale Island, Inaccessible Island and Gough Island. Its natural habitats are subantarctic forests, subantarctic shrubland, and swamps.
Agrostis scabra is a common species of grass known by the common names hair grass, rough bent, rough bent grass, winter bent grass, and ticklegrass. A tumbleweed, it is a bunchgrass native to Asia and much of North America, and widely known elsewhere as an introduced species.
Agrostis perennans, the upland bentgrass, upland bent, or autumn bent, is a species of flowering plant in the grass family, Poaceae.
Agrostis magellanica is a species of grass. It has a circumpolar distribution and is native to many subantarctic islands in, and the coasts bordering, the Southern Ocean.
Agrostis canina, the velvety bentgrass, brown bent or velvet bent, is a species of grass in the family Poaceae.
The subantarctic shearwater is a small bird species which breeds in Tristan da Cunha, islands of the southern Indian Ocean and New Zealand Subantarctic Islands.
