Commerson's Leaf-nosed Bat

<em>Macronycteris commersonii</em>, commonly known as Commerson's Leaf-nosed Bat, is a chiropteran mammal in the family Hipposideridae. This species is assessed as Near Threatened on the IUCN Red List, indicating that it faces increasing pressures that could elevate its risk of extinction without conservation attention. Commerson's Leaf-nosed Bat typically inhabits a range of diverse ecosystems across sub-Saharan Africa, including forests, savannas, and areas near caves or rocky outcrops that serve as roosting sites. Like other hipposiderid bats, it uses echolocation to navigate and hunt in low-light conditions, often foraging for insects in open or semi-open environments after dark. Roost disturbance, habitat degradation, and human persecution are among the primary threats facing this species. The large, elaborately shaped noseleaf characteristic of the family helps focus echolocation signals during foraging. Populations are typically found roosting in caves, mines, and hollow trees in groups that may range from small colonies to large aggregations. Biological traits of this species remain poorly documented in the scientific literature.

Nitzschia angularis는 각진 끝부분과 세포벽의 용골 따라 위치한 뚜렷한 봉합선을 가진 세장형 우상형 담수 규조류이다. 강, 연못, 영양이 풍부한 호수를 포함한 부영양에서 중영양인 담수 환경에 서식한다. 이 광합성 규조류는 중간 정도로 영양이 풍부한 담수 조건과 관련된다.
