common sea hare

<em>Aplysia punctata</em>, the common sea hare, is a large opisthobranch sea slug in the family Aplysiidae, order Aplysiida, found in the northeastern Atlantic Ocean and Mediterranean Sea, with confirmed records from Denmark, Norway, Portugal, and Sweden. This species typically inhabits shallow subtidal and intertidal zones with abundant macroalgae, feeding primarily on red and green algae — a diet that influences the color of the defensive purple ink it secretes when threatened. <em>Aplysia punctata</em> is a simultaneous hermaphrodite, capable of acting as both male and female during mating, and often forms mating chains involving multiple individuals. It can reach considerable size among European opisthobranch species, though body dimensions vary considerably with age and feeding conditions. The species is classified as Least Concern by the IUCN, reflecting stable populations across its coastal range. Biological traits for this species remain poorly documented in the scientific literature, including precise average data on lifespan, body length, weight, and detailed seasonal dietary patterns, though its general herbivorous feeding on macroalgae is well established.

ミミグロハチドリ

ハチドリの中で単色または虹色の羽毛が主流な中、珍しく班点や斑点のある下面を持つ中型のハチドリで、コロンビアとベネズエラからボリビア南部まで標高900〜3,000メートルのアンデスの雲霧林と林縁に生息する。班点のある下面パターンは、苔に覆われた樹皮に止まる際に卓越した迷彩効果を提供する。蜜と小型節足動物を採食し、アンデスの着生植物の重要な花粉媒介者として機能する。
