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 sea urchin is a nocturnal species that feeds on algae. it is found in the intertidal zone.,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

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 species is known from the type locality only.,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

the jewel urchin is the commonest sea urchin on some coral reefs in the caribbean sea but it seems to be restricted to the coasts of panama , belize , the florida keys and jamaica at depths between 5 and 90 metres ( 16 and 295 ft ) . it is found in crevices in rocks and coral reefs and on the surfaces of other organisms such as table corals , acropora spp . , and lettuce corals in the family agariciidae . it does not feed on these corals .

this species inhabits the upper continental slope, from 200 - 500 m depth.,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

red goshawks eat mostly birds , especially parrots and pigeons ; rarely they also prey on mammals , reptiles , and large insects . early and late in the day , they hunt from concealed perches in the trees . in the middle of the day , they use long transects , quartering through or above the canopy , or search from a high soaring position . they attack by a stealthy glide , direct chase , or may stoop from a height .

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 .

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 .

this bee is black in color with " smoky - colored wings " . it has an elongated head . the male has a yellow band on his face , while the female is totally black . this is a solitary bee . the female lays eggs in a nest which may be located in the ground or under bark ; the bee uses available cavities and does not excavate the nest herself . she does line the cavity with a film she secretes , and places there a mass of nectar and pollen for the newly hatched larvae to eat . the adult bee consumes nectar . this and many other hylaeus species lack the scopa which some bees use to carry pollen , and instead carry it in their crops . the bee visits several native hawaiian plants , such as scaevola coriacea , sida fallax , sesbania tomentosa , myoporum sandwicense , santalum ellipticum , and vitex rotundifolia .

the yellow - faced bees are a group of bees in the genus hylaeus, which are endemic to hawai'i. they are important pollinators of native hawaiian plants and trees in every environment in which they occur. they are considered to be threatened with extinction.

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 yellow - faced bees are a group of small bees in the genus hylaeus, native to hawai'i. they are important pollinators of native hawaiian plants and trees. they are threatened by habitat loss and introduced species.

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 .

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 .

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 .
