common bubble snail

The common bubble snail (<em>Akera bullata</em>) is a marine gastropod mollusc found in the coastal waters of Denmark, Norway, Portugal, and Sweden. This species typically inhabits terrestrial and aquatic environments including forests and freshwater-adjacent marine areas, often occurring in shallow subtidal and intertidal zones of temperate European seas. It is classified as Least Concern on the IUCN Red List. As a member of the family Akeridae, the common bubble snail is characterized by its thin, fragile shell and its ability to swim briefly by flapping its large, wing-like parapodia. The species often forages on algae and detritus in sandy and muddy seafloor habitats, particularly in sheltered bays and estuaries. The common bubble snail typically aggregates in large numbers during the spawning season, producing gelatinous egg masses. Biological traits of this species remain poorly documented in the scientific literature.

Long-tailed Sylph

긴꼬리실프(Aglaiocercus kingii)는 가장 화려하게 장식된 벌새 중 하나로, 수컷은 금속빛 녹색 깃털과 22cm에 달하는 리본 모양의 길게 늘어난 바깥 꼬리 깃털을 가지며 이는 몸 길이의 세 배를 넘는다. 콜롬비아와 베네수엘라의 안데스 구름 숲 해발 1,400~2,800m에 서식하며, 수컷은 암컷을 유혹하기 위해 정교한 과시 비행을 수행한다. 화려한 꼬리는 암컷의 선택에 의한 성적 선택의 고전적인 사례다.
