The worlds primary biomes are:
1) Tropical and subtropical moist broadleaf forests (tropical and subtropical, humid)
2) Tropical and subtropical dry broadleaf forests (tropical and subtropical, semihumid)
3) Tropical and subtropical coniferous forests (tropical and subtropical, semihumid)
4) Temperate broadleaf and mixed forests (temperate, humid)
5) Temperate coniferous forests (temperate, humid to semihumid)
6) Boreal forests/taiga (subarctic, humid)
7) Tropical and subtropical grasslands, savannas, and shrublands (tropical and subtropical, semiarid)
8) Temperate grasslands, savannas, and shrublands (temperate, semiarid)
9) Flooded grasslands and savannas (temperate to tropical, fresh or brackish water inundated)
10) Montane grasslands and shrublands (alpine or montane climate)
Tundra (Arctic)
11) Mediterranean forests, woodlands, and scrub or sclerophyll forests (temperate warm, semihumid to semiarid with winter rainfall)
11) Deserts and xeric shrublands (temperate to tropical, arid)
12) Mangrove (subtropical and tropical, salt water inundated)
Birds evolved to live in the air.
Fish evolved to live in water.
What are some examples of animals that evolved to live in each of those biomes?
I am not simply looking for lists of random animals that live in those environments. I am looking for broad classes of animals that evolved to live in that environment and have adaptations that allow them to do so just as birds have evolved to live in the air and fish have evolved to live in water.
Here is what I have so far
Birds = air creatures.
Fish = water creatures.
Amphibians = water quadrupeds.
Reptiles = desert quadrupeds.
Placentals = arctic mammals.
Marsupials = antarctic mammals.
Mammals = nocturnal land quadrupeds
This is not homework. I am creating a conlang.
Chelicerata = laurasia arthropods
insects = gondwana arthropods
