Common Sword-nosed Bat

<em>Lonchorhina aurita</em>, the common sword-nosed bat, is a microchiropteran bat in the family Phyllostomidae, order Chiroptera. It is distributed across northern South America, with confirmed records from Colombia, Ecuador, and Venezuela, typically roosting in caves, tunnels, and hollow trees in humid tropical forests. The species is named for its exceptionally elongated, sword-like noseleaf, one of the most prominent of any bat species, which is thought to play a role in echolocation signal emission and directionality. <em>Lonchorhina aurita</em> is insectivorous, feeding primarily on insects captured in flight through echolocation within forested environments. It is typically gregarious, roosting in colonies that may include hundreds of individuals. Biological traits including average lifespan, body mass, and forearm length under field conditions remain poorly documented in the scientific literature. The species is assessed as Least Concern by the IUCN, with a reasonably broad distribution and populations that are not currently under severe threat, though continued deforestation and cave disturbance in South America may pose growing risks to local colonies over the long term.

Eunotia elegans는 Eunotiaceae과에 속하는 우상 규조류로, 각 극에 짧은 가장자리 봉합선이 있는 아치형(굽은) 껍질로 구별됩니다. 산성의 연수 호수, 이탄 습지, 빈영양 담수 환경에 서식하며 착생 조류 군집에 기여합니다. Eunotia속은 수산성과 낮은 이온 전도도의 유용한 지표로 여겨집니다.
