One species of longwing, Heliconius nattereri, has been found to live only in a tiny slice of habitat within the Atlantic Forest.
The mix has produced a marshland habitat hosting caropsis, tiny carrots only seen growing in the Landes department, and unusually large dragonflies dipping in and out of the water.

Like fuzzy visions of Mars through early telescopes, the hints of flowing water and heat are fueling dreams of the ultimate discovery: aliens, not fossils from some long-departed era, but living ones prospering in secluded habitats, perhaps underground, tiny and microbe-like.
Survival did vary as predicted, favoring species on home habitats, but by tiny and non-significant amounts.
Tardigrades, tiny aquatic creatures found in habitats from backyard ponds to Antarctic glaciers, are tough enough to survive the radiation-fraught perils of space.
At the same time, environmental criteria must be met for tapping into even the tiniest creek, which could be a habitat for an endangered species.
Nematodes are very tiny animals occurring in the complicated soil habitat.
