Capelin Species of fish

The capelin or caplin is a small forage fish of the smelt family found in the North Atlantic, North Pacific, and Arctic oceans. In summer, it grazes on dense swarms of plankton at the edge of the ice shelf. Larger capelin also eat a great deal of krill and other crustaceans. Among others, whales, seals, Atlantic cod, Atlantic mackerel, squid, and seabirds prey on capelin, in particular during the spawning season while the capelin migrate south. Capelin spawn on sand and gravel bottoms or sandy beaches at the age of two to six years. When spawning on beaches, capelin have an extremely high post-spawning mortality rate which, for males, is close to 100%. Males reach 20 cm (8 in) in length, while females are up to 25.2 cm (10 in) long. They are olive-colored dorsally, shading to silver on sides. Males have a translucent ridge on both sides of their bodies. The ventral aspects of the males iridesce reddish at the time of spawn.

<i>Mallotus</i> (plant) Genus of flowering plants in the spurge family Euphorbiaceae

Philippine naked-backed fruit bat Species of bat

The Philippine naked-backed fruit bat or Philippine bare-backed fruit bat is a megabat that mostly lives on Negros Island. Two small populations were also found on Cebu Island in the Philippines. Like other bare-backed fruit bats, its wings meet along the midline of their bodies, making it a very agile flier. It roosted in caves, in areas where little light penetrated the gloom. It was so abundant once that it left piles of guano, which were used by miners as fertilizer.

<i>Claoxylon</i> Genus of flowering plants

Claoxylon is a flowering plant genus in the spurge family, Euphorbiaceae, comprising dioecious subshrubs to small trees. It was first described as a genus in 1824. The genus is distributed in paleotropical areas: Madagascar through South and Southeast Asia, Malesia to Melanesia, Hawaiʻi, and Australia. Half of the species are in Malesia. According to a molecular phylogenetic study by Wurdack, Hoffmann & Chase (2005), Claoxylon is sister to Erythrococca, and together they form the top of a Hennigian comb-like phylogeny.

Oeceoclades atrovirens is a terrestrial orchid species in the genus Oeceoclades. It was first described by the English botanist John Lindley in 1833 as Eulophia atrovirens and later transferred to the genus Oeceoclades in 1976 by Leslie Andrew Garay and Peter Taylor. Lindley based his initial description of the species on a color drawing that Nathaniel Wallich completed in 1828 for the East India Company. No specimens of this plant are known, so this species is only represented by the single illustration. Wallich indicated on the drawing that the species was seen in India, but he did not provide a specific location. The World Checklist of Selected Plant Families lists the distribution of O. atrovirens, with some uncertainty, as possibly being in India or Mauritius.
