The Galápagos land iguanas comprise the genus Conolophus of the Galápagos Islands (Ecuador). The number of species of this variable genus has always been disputed; the most current taxonomic surveys suggest that three species exist:
The Domus Sanctae Marthae is a building adjacent to St. Peter's Basilica in Vatican City. Completed in 1996, during the pontificate of Pope John Paul II, it is named after Martha of Bethany, who was a sibling to Mary and Lazarus of Bethany. The building functions as a guest house for clergy having business with the Holy See, and as the hotel residence of the members of the College of Cardinals when they are participating in a papal conclave to elect a new Pope.
North Brewham Meadows is an 8.9 hectare biological Site of Special Scientific Interest at North Brewham in Somerset, England, notified in 1987.
Campomanesia phaea is a species of plant in the family Myrtaceae. The plant is endemic to the Atlantic Forest ecoregion in southeastern Brazil. It is found in the states of Paraná, Rio de Janeiro, São Paulo.
The fifth cholera pandemic (1881–96) was the fifth major international outbreak of cholera in the 19th century starting in India. It spread throughout Asia and Africa, and reached parts of France, Germany, Russia, and South America. The 1892 outbreak in Hamburg, Germany was the only major European outbreak; about 8,600 people died in that city. Although many residents held the city government responsible for the virulence of the epidemic, it continued with practices largely unchanged. This was the last serious European cholera outbreak of the century.
Conolophus marthae, the Galápagos pink land iguana, is a species of lizard of the family Iguanidae. This critically endangered iguana is native only to the Wolf Volcano in northern Isabela Island of the Galápagos (Ecuador). The iguana has a pink body with some dark stripes, prompting some to call it the pink iguana or the Galápagos rosy iguana. The species was first discovered in 1986 and was identified as a separate species, distinct from the Galápagos land iguana, early in 2009. This species is the only example of ancient diversification in the genus Conolophus and documents one of the oldest events of divergence ever recorded in the Galápagos.
The little woolly mouse opossum is a nocturnal, arboreal and mainly solitary South American marsupial of the family Didelphidae. It is native to the western slopes of the Andes in Colombia, Ecuador and Peru, where it lives at altitudes from sea level to 1500 m. It primarily inhabits lowland rainforest and montane cloud forest, although it has been reported from dry forest in the southern end of its range. It was formerly assigned to the genus Micoureus, which was made a subgenus of Marmosa in 2009. Its conservation status is Vulnerable, due to habitat fragmentation and continuing loss of habitat via urbanization and conversion to agriculture.
Heteropsis phaea is a butterfly in the family Nymphalidae. It is found in Angola, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Uganda, Kenya, Tanzania and Zambia. The habitat consists of open Brachystegia woodland.
Tetraopini is a tribe of longhorn beetles in the subfamily Lamiinae.
Phaea is a genus of longhorn beetles of the subfamily Lamiinae, containing the following species:

Phaea kellyae is a species of beetle in the family Cerambycidae. It was described by Chemsak in 1999. It is known from Costa Rica, Mexico and Guatemala.
Phaea maxima is a species of beetle in the family Cerambycidae. It was described by Henry Walter Bates in 1881. It is known from Mexico.
Phaea phthisica is a species of beetle in the family Cerambycidae. It was described by Henry Walter Bates in 1881. It is known from Costa Rica, Mexico and Panama.
Phaea vitticollis is a species of beetle in the family Cerambycidae. It was described by Henry Walter Bates in 1872. It is known from Mexico.
Phaea crocata is a species of beetle in the family Cerambycidae. It was described by Francis Polkinghorne Pascoe in 1866. It is known from Panama and Colombia.
Phaea mankinsi is a species of beetle in the family Cerambycidae. It was described by Chemsak and Linsley in 1979. It is known from Honduras and Guatemala.
Phaea monostigma is a species of beetle in the family Cerambycidae. It was described by Haldeman in 1847, originally under the genus Oberea. It is known from the United States.
Homonota marthae is a species of gecko. This newly described species is only known from Paraguay. The specific name marthae honors Martha Motte, a Paraguayan herpetologist.
