Cluster Bat
Myotis sodalis, the Indiana bat or cluster bat, is a medium-sized insectivorous bat in the family Vespertilionidae endemic to the eastern United States. It is one of the most endangered bats in North America, listed as Endangered under the U.S. Endangered Species Act and classified as Near Threatened by the IUCN. The species is named for its behavior of clustering in extremely dense hibernation groups—sometimes thousands of bats per square meter—in specific limestone caves and mines during winter. These few critical hibernacula make the species extremely vulnerable to disturbance and disease. Since 2007, Indiana bats have suffered severe mortality from white-nose syndrome, a fungal disease caused by Pseudogymnoascus destructans that disrupts hibernation and causes mass starvation. During summer, Indiana bats roost under loose bark of dead trees and forage for insects over forested landscapes and riparian areas. Foraging individuals consume moths, beetles, and flying insects. Conservation efforts include cave gate protection, white-nose syndrome research, and summer habitat management on public and private lands across the eastern US.
長尾蜂鳥
长尾精灵蜂鸟(Aglaiocercus kingii)是装饰最为华丽的蜂鸟之一。雄性具有虹彩绿色羽毛和极度延长的带状外侧尾羽,可达22厘米,超过体长的三倍。分布于哥伦比亚和委内瑞拉安第斯云雾林海拔1400至2800米处。雄性会进行精心的展示飞行以吸引雌性。其华美的尾羽是雌性偏好驱动性选择的经典案例。
