In Arizona, Goniotropis kuntzeni adults are found on mature Emory oaks in the Madrean Evergreen Woodland biotic community of the Sonoran Desert after the onset of summer rains.  These habitat images are of Walker Canyon, which is located just north of the US/Mexico border in Santa Cruz Co., Arizona.  Walker Canyon contains two species of oak; Emory oak (Quercus emoryi) and the Mexican blue oak (Quercus oblongifolia), as well as species of mesquite and sycamore trees.  Goniotropis kuntzeni adults are found at night, walking on the bark of the oldest Emory oak trees.  These mature trees show damage from old age and the trunks are often partly hollow.

This page is a Tree of Life Leaf Page.

Each ToL leaf page provides a synopsis of the characteristics of a group of organisms representing a leaf at the tip of the Tree of Life. The major distinction between a leaf and a branch of the Tree of Life is that a leaf cannot generally be further subdivided into subgroups representing distinct genetic lineages.

For a more detailed explanation of the different ToL page types, have a look at the Structure of the Tree of Life page.
