Choco Yellow-shouldered Bat

The Choco Yellow-shouldered Bat (Sturnira koopmanhilli) is a medium-sized frugivorous bat in the family Phyllostomidae, endemic to the Chocó biogeographic region of northwestern South America, where it occurs in the humid forests of the Pacific slope of Colombia and adjacent Ecuador. It belongs to the genus Sturnira — the yellow-shouldered bats — characterised by males bearing distinctive yellowish, orange, or reddish shoulder glands (from which the group's name derives), robust bodies, and rounded ears. Like all Sturnira, this species is primarily frugivorous, consuming a wide range of small, soft fruits from pioneer and forest trees, and plays an important role as a seed disperser in disturbed forest patches and forest edges. The diet of Solanaceae (nightshade family) fruits is particularly typical of the genus, and Sturnira bats are considered the primary dispersers of many pioneer Solanum species in Neotropical secondary succession, contributing directly to forest regeneration. The IUCN classifies the Choco Yellow-shouldered Bat as Data Deficient, reflecting significant uncertainty about the species' distribution limits, population size, and ecological requirements. The Chocó region continues to experience rapid deforestation, which threatens frugivorous bat diversity even where individual species lack adequate data for formal threat assessment.

ルリゴシボタンインコ

フィッシャーコザクラインコ（Agapornis fischeri）は、タンザニアとケニアのビクトリア湖周辺のサバンナ林や林縁が原産地の小型の鮮やかな色のラブバードである。胴体は緑色で、頭と喉は鮮やかなオレンジ色、くちばしは赤い。強いペアボンドを形成し、常に互いの羽を整えることが「ラブバード」という名前の由来となっている。世界的なペット取引のための大規模な捕獲により準絶滅危惧に指定されており、飼育下では複数の色変異が開発されている。
