Comoro Rousette

<em>Rousettus obliviosus</em>, the Comoro rousette, is a fruit bat in the family Pteropodidae endemic to the Comoros archipelago in the Indian Ocean, primarily recorded from Anjouan and Mohéli islands. As an Old World fruit bat, it plays an important ecological role in pollination and seed dispersal across the island's native forests. The species inhabits tropical moist lowland and montane forests, roosting in caves and dense vegetation. Its range is severely restricted by the small land area of the Comoros, making it inherently vulnerable to habitat loss. Deforestation driven by agricultural expansion and charcoal production has significantly reduced available forest cover on the islands. The IUCN classifies the Comoro rousette as Vulnerable, reflecting ongoing population pressures and limited geographic distribution. It is presumed to feed on fruits, nectar, and pollen typical of Old World fruit bats, though detailed dietary studies are limited. Biological traits including precise body measurements and lifespan data remain poorly documented in the scientific literature. Conservation efforts on the Comoros islands face challenges due to limited resources, though the species benefits from some protection within national parks and forest reserves. Its survival depends on the preservation of intact native forest habitat across the archipelago.

ホンセイインコ

世界で最も広く分布する侵入性インコの一つであるワカケホンセイインコは、サハラ以南のアフリカと南アジアが原産地だが、籠抜け個体からヨーロッパ、北アメリカ、日本、オーストラリアを含む35か国以上に大規模な野生個体群を確立した。雄はピンクと黒の特徴的な首輪を持つ。適応力が高く繁殖力も旺盛で、ロンドン、アムステルダム、ブリュッセルなどの都市では都市個体群が急増し、巨大な群れをなして在来の樹洞営巣鳥と競争している。
