the jewel urchin does not protect itself from the sun by covering its upper surface with bits of seagrass and shell but instead , tends to hide in cracks during the day and emerge to feed at night . like other sea urchins , the diet is mainly algae which are scraped off the surface of rocks or chewed by the rasping mouthparts situated on the oral ( under ) surface of the animal . in panama the jewel urchin ' s spawning period occurs annually in the rainy season . it occurs over an extended period and does not seem to be linked with phases of the moon as is the case in some other species of sea urchin .

the jewel urchin grows to a diameter of about 3 to 5 centimetres ( 1 . 2 to 2 . 0 in ) and has spines up to 3 centimetres ( 1 . 2 in ) long . many of them are shorter than this and provide a dense covering . the test is usually a pale brown colour with a red or dark brown stripe along the joints of the main interambulacral plates . the spines are either deep green or white and have a ridge running along one side of each , a fact that distinguishes this species from the very similar lytechinus variegatus . in between the spines are large purple tweezer shaped structures called pedicellariae which are also distinctive , l . variegatus having white pedicellariae .

The test is oval, slightly flattened dorso-ventrally. The apical system consists of 4 genital plates and 3 ocular plates. The ambulacral zones are narrow and petal-like, with 3 pairs of pores. The interambulacral zones are wide and covered with dense, fine, brown spines. The primary tubercles are large and perforate, surrounded by smaller, imperforate tubercles. The oral surface has a distinctive pattern of small, dark brown, polygonal plates.

the red goshawk was first described by the english ornithologist john latham in 1801 under the binomial name falco radiatus . the species used to be regarded as a very large member of the goshawk subfamily , accipitrinae , but it is now believed that the resemblance to these other birds is convergent . experts now group the red goshawk with the superficially dissimilar black - breasted buzzard hamirostra melanosternon and square - tailed kite lophoictinia isura as one of the australasian old endemic raptors . it is believed that the ancestors of these birds , possibly together with a handful of species from south - east asia and africa , occupied gondwana and over millions of years have diverged into their current forms . gene sequencing studies have found a relationship between hamirostra and lophoictinia , however samples had not been obtained from erythrotriorchis .

the species primarily feeds on crabs and also takes small vertebrates ( fish , lizards , rodents and birds ) . cuban black hawks breed mainly between march and june , but may do so as early as january . nests are built in the sub - canopy of mangrove trees and are generally made out of mangrove twigs and lined with foliage . the female hawk lays 1 – 2 dark - spotted eggs ( 42 – 56 mm long ) . the species is monogamous and forms long - term pairs .

The ecological summary focuses on the birdwatching tour in Cuba, highlighting the various species encountered across different regions. The tour covered over 700 km, visiting areas such as Camagüey, La Belén Woodland Reserve, Pinár del Río, Cuevas de los Portales, Hacienda Cortina, Cayo Coco, and Zapata Swamp. A total of 176 species were recorded, including Cuban endemics like Great Lizard Cuckoo, Cuban Pygmy Owl, Fernandina's Flicker, and Bee Hummingbird. Other notable sightings include American Flamingos, Key West Quail-Dove, West Indian Whistling Duck, Cuban Sparrow, Thick-billed Vireo, Oriente Warbler, Cedar Waxwings, Piping Plover, and Ridgwayi Osprey.

german ornithologist jean cabanis described the cuban black hawk in 1855 . it was considered by most authorities to be a subspecies of the mangrove black hawk ( buteogallus anthracinus ) , although aspects of its behavior were little studied . however in 2007 , the american ornithologists ' union classified it as a separate species based on differing vocalizations and plumage patterns . it is one of eight species in the new world genus buteogallus .

The taxonomy of Cuban birds includes several endemics, such as Great Lizard Cuckoo, Cuban Pygmy Owl, Cuban Solitaire, Cuban Trogon, Scaly-naped Pigeon, La Sagra's Flycatcher, Giant Kingbird, West Indian and Cuban Green Woodpeckers, Fernandina's Flicker, Antillean Palm Swift, Western Spindalis, Yellow-headed Warbler, Olive-capped Warbler, Cuban Tody, Key West Quail-Dove, West Indian Whistling Duck, Cuban Sparrow, Thick-billed Vireo, Oriente Warbler, Cedar Waxwing, Piping Plover, Ridgwayi Osprey, Cuban Northern Flicker, Zapata Wren, Zapata Sparrow, West Indian Woodpecker, Bare-legged Owl, Zenaida Dove, Grey-headed Quail-Dove, Bee Hummingbird, and Blue-headed Quail-Dove.

this fly occurs in hedge rows of hill countries , on moorland and mountain birch forests , in woodland edges , fields and in wetlands .

The St Mark's Fly is commonly found in woodland edges, fields, and wetlands during the spring. They hang in the air over vegetation, drifting along with their legs dangling underneath. They often land on objects in their way, including fence posts and people, and are rather sluggish at rest. The larvae live in the soil, feeding on roots, grasses, and rotting vegetation, and are often found around compost heaps.

bibio pomonae can reach a length of about 10 – 13 millimetres ( 0 . 39 – 0 . 51 in ) , while the length of the wings reaches 8 – 12 millimetres ( 0 . 31 – 0 . 47 in ) . the basic body color is shiny black , with a black long abdomen , deep crimson - red femurs and dark tibiae and tarsi . front tibia show a pair of large spurs . wings are milky - white with darkened veins on the costal area and a dark spot on the leading edge . the 10 - segmented antennae are relatively short and thick . males and females are very different , as the holoptic males show very large eyes and a flattened abdomen , while the females have small head and eyes and a sharp abdomen . the larvae are reddish brown .

The St Mark's Fly is a shiny black fly, 6-8mm in length. Males have large eyes, while females have smaller heads and tiny eyes. They can be found in woodland edges, fields, and wetlands during spring, hovering above vegetation with their legs dangling. They are sluggish at rest and often land on objects, including people. The larvae live in soil, feeding on roots and rotting vegetation, while adults feed on nectar and are important pollinators for fruit trees and other plants.

this bee occurs in coastal and lowland dry shrubland . there are 3 populations on lanai and one each on maui , molokai , and oahu . the population sizes are not known . much of its known habitat has been developed or degraded , and its host plants no longer grow in the area . the main threat to the species is habitat loss . damage to the habitat has occurred via development , the introduction of nonnative plants and animals , agriculture , recreational activity , and fire . natural disasters such as hurricanes are also a threat to the habitat . this and other rare hylaeus bee species were once " widespread " in hawaii .

The native Hawaiian yellow-faced bees in the genus Hylaeus inhabit a wide range of habitats, including coastal strands and high-elevation wet forests. They are found on the Hawaiian Islands, specifically on O'ahu and Hawai'i Island, where they play a crucial role as pollinators of native plants and trees. However, their populations have declined dramatically over the past 100 years, leading to concerns about their conservation status. Some species are currently under review for endangered species status, while others are considered species of concern or are rare.

these giant wētā were first discovered living in tiny ( 1 – 5 hectare ) remnants of tawa forest at mahoenui , a small community in new zealand ' s king country . in 1987 a larger population was found nearby , living in farmland covered with introduced gorse . an area of 240 hectares ( 590 acres ) of gorse was purchased by the department of conservation to create a wētā reserve . gorse is an invasive weed in new zealand pasture , and not the wētā ' s natural habitat , but in combination with introduced livestock it had formed a refuge for the species . cattle had opened out the gorse canopy , and browsing by goats have cropped it into thick hedges , impenetrable to the introduced rats that are the main threat to d . mahoenui .

The Mahoenui giant weta were relocated from the Mahoenui Giant Weta Scientific Reserve in King Country to Maungatautari, a mainland reserve. This is the first time this species has been introduced to a mammal-free, native forest on the mainland. The reserve provides an ideal habitat for the giant weta, which is under threat.

female mahoenui giant wētā lay 200 – 400 eggs in autumn , burying them about 25 mm deep into the soil with their ovipositor . the eggs are about 7 mm long , and take 10 months to hatch , with the 8 mm nymphs emerging in march or april . nymphs grow rapidly , eating other insects ( they are cannibalistic ) as well as leaves , bark , and leaf litter . they shed their exoskeleton every month until august , then bimonthly until february , going through 10 stages or instars . once they reach maturity in autumn , females signal they are ready to mate with pheromones in their droppings . males follow this scent and caress the females with their antennae before mating takes place . adults die after egglaying , just before winter . their life cycle in total lasts 22 – 24 months , very short compared to some other species of large wētā which can live for over 10 years in captivity .

no specific information about reproduction is mentioned in the article. However, it can be inferred that the introduction of the Mahoenui giant weta to a predator-free mainland reserve aims to increase the population of the species, which is under threat. This implies that the goal is to promote breeding and reproduction of the species in its natural environment.

this species is univoltine . the caterpillars overwinter in the first larval instar . the larvae feed on various grasses , including festuca , bromus erectus , brachypodium pinnatum , cynosurus cristatus , corynephorus canescens , dactylis and poa species . adults are on wing from july to september .

The Arethusana Arethusa butterfly inhabits dry, gappy, and meager grasslands, steppe-like grass felts, and woody areas. It has become extinct in Germany due to habitat loss, climate extremes, and collecting. In the south, it is highly localized and scattered, but moderately endangered due to habitat loss. The species is considered an adventive, meaning it arrived in the British Isles with external assistance. The larva feeds on grasses, and hibernation occurs as L1. The caterpillars are easily found in the spring, and the moths fly between late July/early August and September. The overall distribution ranges from Morocco to Southern Europe and Asia.

the decision on what is the correct or accurate genus level name ( berthelinia , tamanovalva , edenttellina or midorigai ) has caused some discussion , as berthelinia was originally described from a single fossil shell . here is a quote from a recent reply to this question on the sea slug forum explaining the problem : " . . . berthelinia is based on a fossil species while tamanovalva is based on a living animal . we will never know whether the similarity in shell shape is based on a close phylogenetic relationship or on chance . for example , there are many cephalaspidean bubble shells which are impossible to place in families simply on the shape of the shell so i ( bill rudman ) think it is unsafe to use a fossil name for a living animal . kathe jensen follows baba ( 1961 ) in using the fossil berthelinia for the living species and considers in fact that there are only two valid genera in the family juliidae , julia and berthelinia . baba and jensen both consider edenttellina and midorigai are either synonyms , or at the most , subgenera of berthelinia . i ( bill rudman ) have continued to use edenttellina and midorigai for australian species because that has been the current practice here in australia , and there are considered to be some anatomical differences . . . " the shell of berthelinia chloris is translucent green with a series of white marks along the edge of the shell . the fleshy body of this species is also greenish with the foot somewhat more transparent . the characteristic rolled sacoglossid rhinophores are covered with white specks . more details are included recently in the newly published field guide to marine molluscs of galapagos by cleve hickman and yves finet . berthelinia chloris feeds on the green alga , caulerpa , from lower baja california to the galapagos islands where dave mulliner ' s photo shown here was taken . confused now ? ? ? yes i can understand why . let ' s stick with berthelinia for the purpose of this nudibranch of the week presentation . sacoglossids get their name from " saco " , a sack , and " glossa " tongue , which describes a sac in the buccal cavity that collects old , warn - out radular teeth . this curious organ , retains all the teeth " used up " by the individual , giving biologists ( who care about things like this ) a complete dental history of each individual . david mulliner is a true legend . he was sea hunt before lloyd bridges . seriously , he has been diving and studying marine life in san diego and baja california for decades . he has also pioneered close - up microphotography , and is the staff photographer for the san diego shell club ' s publication , the festivus . his charming smile and welcoming embrace have encouraged many neophytes into studying nudibranchs and other molluscs . dave has generously supplied specimens to many scientists . he continues to share his expertise , knowledge and photographs with all who share his love of the sea and its mollusc community . send dave mail at mulliner1 @ juno . com send dave mail at seachalleng @ earthlink . net © the slug site , michael d . miller 2002 . all rights reserved .

phyllodesmium macphersonae feeds on an octocoral .

phyllodesmium macphersonae is a species of sea slug that retains functional zooxanthellae from the octocorals it feeds on, which are kept in specialized branches of its digestive system. The brown patches on its body are actually "gardens" of these zooxanthellae, allowing them to receive sufficient sunlight for photosynthesis. It grows to approximately 15mm in length and is found in tropical Indo-West Pacific regions, including Australia.

as with most early trilobites , archaeaspis has an almost flat exoskeleton that is only thinly calcified , and has crescent - shaped eye ridges . as part of the olenellina suborder , archaeaspis lack dorsal sutures . the superfamily fallotaspidoidea , to which archaeaspis belongs can be distinguished from all other olenellina by features of the cephalon and in particular the glabella . the glabella tapers forward . the frontal lobe of the glabella ( because it is counted from the back , it is numbered l4 ) is as long as the most backward lobe ( l0 ) , less than in the other olenellina . the eye ridges ( or ocular lobes ) contact , but do not merge with , the entire frontal margin of the glabella . in archaeaspis the frontal lobe of the glabella ( l4 ) does not contact the anterior border furrow , but is connected with it by a ridge at midline ( called plectrum ) . there is an obvious ridge that crosses the area between the ocular lobe and the glabella backward and slightly outward at approximately 10 ° ( called interocular ridge ) .

plexaura homomalla contains a high level of the lipid prostaglandin a . this physiologically active substance is a million times more abundant in its tissues than in those of most other animals . the function of this large amount of prostaglandin in the coral is unknown . its function in mammals is to act as a muscle relaxant . it is used to induce labour and it causes nausea and vomiting . plexaura homomalla contains 2 to 3 % by weight of prostaglandin and was used as a source for the drug until methods for its synthesis became available in the 1970s . experiments show that killifish , family cyprinodontidae , and yellowhead wrasse ( halichoeres garnoti ) vomit after being fed gelatine pellets containing prostaglandin . in feeding trials , the fish quickly learned to avoid these pellets while accepting control pellets . it would seem that the prostaglandin produced by the coral offers a chemical defence and acts as a deterrent to predatory fishes .

plexaura homomalla is a species that inhabits clear water patch reefs, typically found at depths of up to 55 meters. It is commonly found in Florida, the Bahamas, and the Caribbean. The species has two forms, forma homomalla and forma kuekenthali, which differ in terms of colony shape and size. Colonies can grow up to 35 cm in height and have a bushy, compressed shape with lateral branching. The species is known for containing a powerful drug called prostaglandin, which has various therapeutic uses.

calliactis tricolor may adhere to a rock but is usually found attached to the hard surface of a living animal . this can be the carapace of a crab , a hermit crab occupying an empty gastropod shell , a clam or other living mollusc such as the tulip shell ( fasciolaria tulipa ) or the caribbean crown conch ( melongena melongena ) . this is a symbiotic relationship ; the anemone benefits from greater access to food as its host moves around , and the host benefits from the protection from predators provided by the anemone ' s stinging cells . the shell occupied by the thinstripe hermit crab ( clibanarius vittatus ) often carries a tricolor anemone . this is usually quite small but may be several centimetres in diameter . the crab actively collects the anemone from a base on a rock and places it on its shell . it later transfers it to a new shell when it has outgrown the present shell and needs to move into larger quarters . calliactis tricolor is often found attached to a gastropod shell occupied by another hermit crab , dardanus venosus . on finding an anemone , or after moving into a new shell , this hermit crab taps the edge of the base of the anemone several times with its claw . this causes it to relax and the crab can then lift it off the surface to which it was attached and place it onto its new home . the anemone clings there with its tentacles until its base is firmly settled in place . in a trial , dardanus venosus showed a preference for large anemones over small ones . it placed a large one on the top of its shell . when offered small ones , it ate some of them , and placed others close to the opening of its shell .

the species inhabits shallow water, typically found in coral reefs. it is known to inhabit areas with moderate to strong currents. it has been observed in depths ranging from 1-20 meters. it is also known to be associated with certain species of sea anemones.;

muir ' s corella formerly inhabited woodlands and open country east of the main area of forest in south - western western australia , occurring north to the swan and avon rivers , south to albany and augusta , and eastwards to the stirling and porongurup ranges . the birds were distributed in small , widely separated colonies throughout this range . however , the population has declined and the subspecies now only occurs in the lake muir region where the remainder of the woodland habitat consists of fragmented remnants .

The Muir's Corella, a bird species, has a restricted distribution of approximately 12,000 km² in Western Australia, specifically in the Tone Bridge, Rocky Gully, Frankland River, and Lake Muir areas. Historically, they formed large flocks, causing damage to grain crops, but due to active control measures, their population drastically reduced in the mid-1900s, leading to their listing as threatened fauna in 1990. However, with conservation efforts, their population has recovered to over 20,000 birds in 2014, and they are no longer considered threatened.

muir ’ s corellas are gregarious and may be seen in flocks of from ten to a thousand birds . they have traditional roosting sites , usually in dense timber , which they leave in the morning for their feeding areas and return to at night .

The Muir's Corella, a bird species, was previously considered threatened due to its declining population. However, after being listed as threatened fauna, conservation efforts led to a significant increase in its population, and it was eventually removed from the Western Australian threatened species list. Despite this, the species remains specially protected, and a wildlife management program has been implemented to balance the needs of the community with the conservation of the species. The program aims to manage the bird's population while minimizing damage to crops and urban areas, where they can cause significant destruction.

this medium - sized hummingbird can measure up to 10 cm ( 3 . 9 in ) long , and weigh up to 4 . 3 g ( 0 . 15 oz ) . the male has metallic green upperparts that grade to bronze at the rump and tail . it sports a conspicuous rufous wing patch when the wings are folded . the underwing is mostly rufous - cinnamon . the namesake striped tail is formed by dark bronze green central rectrices and outer rectrices which have black outer webs , white inner webs and broad black tips . the female has a metallic green back but her underparts and the sides of her face are light brownish grey . on both sexes , the bill is straight and black . the female lays two white eggs in a small cup nest lined with plant fibres . the white - tailed hummingbird and the blue - capped hummingbird are sometimes considered subspecies of this species .

The Stripe-tailed Hummingbird (Eupherusa eximia) measures 9-10.5 cm in length, weighing 4.7g for males and 4.1g for females. It has a black bill and dusky flesh-colored feet. Males have a bronzy-green back and glittering green belly, while females have a duller plumage. Its song consists of a series of 1-3 squeaky or metallic notes followed by a lower-pitched, dry insect-like sound. It inhabits the canopy and borders of cool, wet highland forests, descending to shrub level in gaps, and feeds on nectar from various tree and shrub flowers. Breeding occurs during the late wet to dry season, with nests made of pale-colored plant down. The species is not globally threatened but is locally uncommon to common due to deforestation.

like other woodlice , t . pusillus eats decaying plant matter of various kinds , although only alder litter is capable of sustaining a stable reproducing population . predators of t . pusillus include the common shrew sorex araneus , lycosid and dysderid spiders , centipedes such as lithobius variegatus and perhaps carabid beetles . trichoniscus pusillus is susceptible to infection by isopod iridescence virus , or iridovirus ( iridoviridae ) . this is first apparent as a blue sheen on the unpigmented underside of the animals , but soon spreads to give the entire exoskeleton a bluish iridescence .

there are two distinct reproductive strategies within the species trichoniscus pusillus . many populations are , like most metazoans , bisexual and reproduce sexually ; in other cases , females reproduce parthenogenetically , creating clones of themselves . the sexually reproducing form is diploid while the parthenogenetic form is triploid ; since parthenogenesis always produces females , males are always diploid and can only be produced by sexual reproduction . the frequency of males in the population decreases from south to north ( a latitudinal cline ) and in increasingly open habitats , with no males observed in most of scotland and scandinavia , but more than 15 % males in the iberian and apennine peninsulas . the reproductive season lasts from march to september , and one to three breeding waves may be observed . females are gravid for 4 – 5 weeks before releasing 4 – 18 mancae from the brood pouch .
