ヒメコンゴウインコ

メキシコ南部からボリビアおよびブラジルに至る中南米熱帯林に生息する中型マコウインコで、栗色の前頭部、赤い肩の斑点、青い風切羽を持つ主に緑色の羽毛が特徴だ。真のマコウインコの中で最小の種で、林縁、サバンナ、二次林に生息し、農作物を荒らすことも多く地元農民には不人気なこともある。人気の飼育用鳥だが、野生個体群は捕獲と森林破壊による圧力を受けている。

Common Globe-Thistle

<em>Echinops sphaerocephalus</em>, commonly known as the common globe-thistle or great globe-thistle, is a perennial herbaceous plant in the family Asteraceae. The species has a distribution spanning Europe, North America, and Oceania, with naturalization in several regions outside its native southern and central European range. <em>Echinops sphaerocephalus</em> typically inhabits dry, open, and disturbed habitats including roadsides, waste ground, rocky slopes, and steppe grasslands, where it is well adapted to poor, well-drained soils. It produces distinctive spherical, steel-blue flower heads that are highly attractive to pollinators, particularly bees and butterflies, making it a valued plant in native garden planting and ecological restoration. The species is not currently evaluated for conservation status. Biological traits of this species remain poorly documented in the scientific literature. <em>Echinops sphaerocephalus</em> is a robust, spiny plant that can grow to considerable height and spreads readily in suitable open habitats. Its ornamental qualities and pollinator value have contributed to its deliberate planting in gardens and public green spaces beyond its native range.
