Widely distributed across Asia (Taiwan), Europe (8 countries), North America (Canada, United States), and South America (Colombia).
Common Bunomys
The common bunomys (<em>Bunomys chrysocomus</em>) is a small rodent species found in diverse terrestrial and aquatic habitats, including tropical forests and adjacent ecosystems. This species is classified as Least Concern on the IUCN Red List, reflecting a currently stable population without immediate conservation concerns. As a member of the family Muridae, the common bunomys is an endemic rodent of Sulawesi, Indonesia, where it typically inhabits montane forest environments at moderate to high elevations. The species often forages on the forest floor, feeding on seeds, fruits, fungi, and invertebrates. Its diet and foraging behavior make it an important contributor to seed dispersal and nutrient cycling in its native forest ecosystems. The common bunomys is typically nocturnal and solitary in its habits, as is characteristic of many rodents in its genus. Biological traits of this species remain poorly documented in the scientific literature.
Monarch
世界で最も驚くべき渡り昆虫の一つで、オオカバマダラ(Danaus plexippus)は北アメリカ北部の繁殖地とメキシコの山岳森林の越冬地との間を最大 4,800 km の多世代往復移動を行います。鮮やかなオレンジと黒の翅は幼虫時に食べたトウワタから得た毒性を捕食者に警告します。1990年代以降、繁殖地の消失、農薬、気候変動により越冬個体群が 80%以上減少し、絶滅危惧種に指定されています。
