Cloud Forest Akodont

Cloud forest akodonts are small rodents in the genus Akodon (family Cricetidae, subfamily Sigmodontinae) adapted to the cool, moist cloud forests of the Andean mountain chain in South America. These small mice, typically 15–25 g body weight, are among the most diverse rodent genera in the Neotropics, with dozens of species occupying a range of habitats from tropical lowland forest to high-elevation grasslands and cloud forest margins. Cloud forest species live in mossy, fern-rich undergrowth at elevations typically between 1,500 and 3,500 meters, where they forage for seeds, fungi, invertebrates, and plant material among dense vegetation and under fallen logs. Akodonts are important prey species for forest raptors, small cats, and mustelids, and serve as seed dispersers in cloud forest ecosystems. Many cloud forest akodont species have restricted ranges tied to specific elevation bands on individual mountain ranges, making them vulnerable to climate change-driven upslope habitat shifts that compress available habitat and may eventually eliminate suitable conditions on mountains of insufficient height.

ハイイロイカル

灰色の上面、白みがかった下面、黒い頬ひげで縁取られた特徴的な白い喉を持つ中型から大型のずんぐりした鳥で、ハイイロフウキンモドキはメキシコから中央アメリカを経てボリビアとアルゼンチンに至る広大な分布域の森林縁辺部、庭園、二次林に生息します。適応力が高く、熱帯ラテンアメリカ全域の郊外の公園や庭園で繁栄しています。豊かで変化に富んだ音楽的な鳴き声を発し、撹乱された新熱帯の景観でよく観察される大型の鳴禽類の一つです。
