The paper explores the connection between species thermodynamics and black hole thermodynamics, extending the interpretation to charged species. It defines minimal black holes for both uncharged and charged species and examines the thermodynamic properties of near-extremal charged species, revealing implications for cosmology, particularly within the Dark Dimensions Scenario. The authors also investigate possible microscopic constructions in non-supersymmetric string theories where towers of charged near-extremal species may arise. The paper discusses the N-portrait description of black holes, including the inclusion of massive species, and provides a detailed analysis of the entropy, mass, and temperature of minimal black holes. It further explores the duality between species particles and black hole geometries, and the thermodynamic interpretation of species. The paper also delves into the construction of minimal charged black holes and their species thermodynamics, including the attractor mechanism and the role of moduli dependence. Finally, it discusses the implications of these findings for cosmology, suggesting that near-extremal species could serve as dark matter candidates.The paper explores the connection between species thermodynamics and black hole thermodynamics, extending the interpretation to charged species.
