ムナグロマンゴーハチドリ

クロノドマンゴーハチドリ（Anthracothorax nigricollis）は、メキシコ南部からアルゼンチンにかけての熱帯林に生息する大型で目立つハチドリです。顕著な性的二形を示し、オスは輝く黒い喉と胸に紫・緑の脇腹と太い紫色の尾が特徴的で、メスは胸の中央に黒い縞が入る白い下面を持ちます。開花する木を積極的に守り、新熱帯区全域で軽度懸念に分類されています。

<em>Euonymus europaeus</em>, commonly known as the common spindle, is a deciduous shrub or small tree in the family Celastraceae, native to Europe and western Asia. This species typically inhabits woodland edges, hedgerows, scrubland, calcareous grassland margins, and riverbanks, preferring well-drained soils on chalk and limestone but tolerating a variety of substrates. Its geographic range extends across most of Europe from the British Isles and Scandinavia south to the Mediterranean, and eastward through the Caucasus into western Asia. Classified as Least Concern on the IUCN Red List, <em>Euonymus europaeus</em> maintains stable populations throughout its native range. The species is particularly notable for its striking autumn display of bright pink to crimson four-lobed capsular fruits that split to reveal orange-coated seeds, providing an important food source for robins, blackcaps, and other birds. The seeds are toxic to humans and many mammals. The plant typically grows to 2–6 metres in height and produces small inconspicuous greenish-white flowers in spring. Biological traits such as average individual lifespan, precise body dimensions, and specific weight measurements remain poorly documented at the population level for this shrub. The hard, fine-grained wood has historically been used for making spindles and skewers, giving rise to the common name.
