Club Horned Wood Borer Wasp
Trypoxylon clavicerum is a solitary hunting wasp in the family Crabronidae, subfamily Trypoxylinae. Like other members of the genus Trypoxylon, it is a spider hunter that provisions tubular nest cells with paralyzed spiders as food for its larvae. Females construct nests in pre-existing cavities such as hollow plant stems, old wood-boring beetle tunnels, or crevices in dead wood and soil banks. The species name clavicerum refers to the club-shaped antenna tips. T. clavicerum is distributed across Europe and parts of the Palearctic, inhabiting woodland edges, hedgerows, meadows, gardens, and scrubby areas where both nesting sites and suitable prey spiders are available. Males often guard nest entrances, chasing away parasitic flies and competing males. The Trypoxylon genus is notable for its polygynous or communal nesting tendencies in some species and for behavioral studies on mate guarding. The species is classified as Least Concern by the IUCN given its wide distribution and general abundance in diverse semi-natural habitats. Like many solitary bees and wasps, T. clavicerum benefits from habitat management that maintains bare soil, dead wood, and floral resources.
コウテイペンギン
世界最大のペンギンであるコウテイペンギン(Aptenodytes forsteri)は体高最大1.2m、体重45kgで、地球上で最も過酷な環境の一つである南極大陸に生息しています。零下60°C以下の真冬の暗闇の中で繁殖し、雌が海上にいる間、雄が65日間足の上で育雛嚢の下に一つの卵を温め続けます。数千羽からなる群れで個体が暖かい中心部を循環するいわゆるハドリング行動は、協調的な生存戦略の傑作です。
