Chittick

The Chittick (Lambertia inermis) is a flowering shrub in the family Proteaceae, endemic to southwestern Western Australia — one of the world's most significant plant biodiversity hotspots. It belongs to the genus Lambertia, a small Australian endemic genus of about ten species collectively known as honeysuckles, characterised by tubular, brightly coloured flowers adapted for pollination by honeyeaters and other nectar-feeding birds. Lambertia inermis produces clusters of red or yellow tubular flowers at the branch tips, providing an important food resource for native wildlife. The species grows in the kwongan heathland and mallee scrubland vegetation communities of the Southwest Australian Floristic Region, occurring on nutrient-poor, sandy or lateritic soils. Its name inermis, meaning unarmed or spineless, distinguishes it from relatives with spiny bracts. The IUCN classifies this species as Vulnerable, reflecting the significant threats facing the Southwest Australian Floristic Region, including extensive land clearing for agriculture, altered fire regimes, disease — particularly the root rot pathogen Phytophthora cinnamomi — and increasingly severe drought driven by climate change. Conservation of kwongan heathland, through management of Phytophthora spread and sensitive fire management, is essential for the long-term survival of Chittick and hundreds of other endemic plant species sharing its habitat.

アオフタオハチドリ

ナガオシルフハチドリ(Aglaiocercus kingii)は最も鮮やかに装飾されたハチドリの一つで、雄は虹色の緑色羽毛と22cmに達するリボン状に長く伸びた外側尾羽を持ち、これは体長の3倍を超える。コロンビアとベネズエラのアンデス雲霧林の標高1,400〜2,800mに生息し、雄は雌を引き付けるために精巧な誇示飛行を行う。その華麗な尾羽は、雌の選好による性的選択の古典的な例である。
