Habitat & Geographic Range
Cluster Bat
Typically found in diverse terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems.
Found in United States. Listed as Near Threatened, this species requires ongoing monitoring to prevent population decline.
ブンチョウ
Found across multiple habitat types including tropical and subtropical moist broadleaf forests, tropical and subtropical grasslands and savannas, and flooded grasslands and savannas, among 6 distinct biome types spanning the Afrotropic and Indomalayan realms. Populations are also found in montane and highland environments at higher elevations.
Widely distributed across Africa (Tanzania), Asia (Taiwan, Thailand, Vietnam), Europe (5 countries), North America (United States), Oceania and the Pacific (Australia), and South America (Colombia, Venezuela). Currently classified as Vulnerable on the IUCN Red List, this species faces significant conservation challenges across its range.
Cluster Bat
Myotis sodalis, the Indiana bat or cluster bat, is a medium-sized insectivorous bat in the family Vespertilionidae endemic to the eastern United States. It is one of the most endangered bats in North America, listed as Endangered under the U.S. Endangered Species Act and classified as Near Threatened by the IUCN. The species is named for its behavior of clustering in extremely dense hibernation groups—sometimes thousands of bats per square meter—in specific limestone caves and mines during winter. These few critical hibernacula make the species extremely vulnerable to disturbance and disease. Since 2007, Indiana bats have suffered severe mortality from white-nose syndrome, a fungal disease caused by Pseudogymnoascus destructans that disrupts hibernation and causes mass starvation. During summer, Indiana bats roost under loose bark of dead trees and forage for insects over forested landscapes and riparian areas. Foraging individuals consume moths, beetles, and flying insects. Conservation efforts include cave gate protection, white-nose syndrome research, and summer habitat management on public and private lands across the eastern US.
ブンチョウ
東アジアで最も人気のある飼い鳥の一つであるジャワスズメは、灰色の羽毛、鮮やかな黒い頭部、特徴的な白い頬斑、明るい赤いくちばしを持つ印象的なフィンチである。インドネシアのジャワ島とバリ島が原産地で、アジア・アフリカ・アメリカの多くの地域に導入されている。開けた草地、水田、農地に生息し、稲作に被害を与えることがある。籠鳥取引のための深刻な捕獲圧力により、原産地では絶滅危惧種に指定されている。
