Common Bithynia

The common bithynia (<em>Bithynia tentaculata</em>) is a freshwater gastropod snail belonging to the family Bithyniidae. It is classified as Least Concern on the IUCN Red List and has been recorded across terrestrial and aquatic habitats in Belgium, Denmark, Norway, Sweden, and the United States. <em>Bithynia tentaculata</em> typically inhabits slow-moving or still freshwater environments such as lakes, ponds, canals, and rivers, often on muddy or sandy substrates where organic material is abundant. The species has a distinctive operculum that seals the shell opening, providing protection against desiccation and predators. It typically feeds by grazing on algae, detritus, and biofilms on submerged surfaces. The common bithynia serves as an intermediate host for several trematode parasites, making it ecologically significant in freshwater food webs and parasite life cycles. Biological traits of this species remain poorly documented in the scientific literature.

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。
