% : endemic/endangered

"Many of Europe's most endangered animals are species restricted to islands, notably the Canary Islands."


"""
Endemism is the ecological state of a species being unique to a defined geographic location, such as an island, nation, country or other defined zone, or habitat type; organisms that are indigenous to a place are not endemic to it if they are also found elsewhere.

————————


* Geckos @ Lanzarote

    * geckos traditionally live in houses
    * are probably good against local pests (flies, etc)
    * are threatened by cats, lack of old-style materials (wood, plants shade):
        If we can study them and their living conditions we should be able to create wall spaces for them to live in any house
    * ###



    Species @ Lanzarote

* super list http://focusonnature.com/CanaryIslandsAmphibiansAndReptiles.htm !!!

* "Island gigantism" due to:
    * lack of predators (small to escape)
    * survival when lack of food ( bigger, stronger)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Reptiles_of_the_Canary_Islands
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_reptiles_of_the_Canary_Islands

Various species of giant lizards were considered extinct but still subsist:
    @El Hierro https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/El_Hierro_giant_lizard
        * rediscovered in 1974
        * partly reintroduced to extend its territory
    @La Palma https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/La_Palma_giant_lizard
    @La Gomera https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/La_Gomera_giant_lizard
        * rediscovered in 1999
    @Tenerife https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tenerife_speckled_lizard
        * discovered for the first time in 1996

also called "living fossiles"




* Spirula Spirula (SEA SHELL)

https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/c/c0/Spirula_spirula_illustration.jpghttps://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/f/f6/Spirula_spirula_lateral-view.jpg


    BASICS
:
    This is a an awesome living fossil
    That has a completely different organ system
    Makes its own light


    What is this ?

* <david thinks "it's a sea snail" (inner shell)

* is a sort of a fossil deep water squid !
    * cephalopod
    * a living fossil ?
:
    * Spirula is likely the closest living relative of the extinct belemnites and aulacocerids.
    * These three groups as a unit are closely related to the cuttlefish, as well as to the true squids. 


    (first encounter)
:
    * <pau @beach Caleton blanco 10.Dec

    * found a sort of shell on the beach
        * in the middle of dead crabs
        * piling up lines of dead sea stuff

    * it doesn't look like any usual shell
        * horn shell
        * coils not in contact with each other


    Buoyancy organ
:
    * for the animal to float !
    * endogastric coil = under the animal
        *  by opposition to exogastrical:
            * the shell coils over the back of the animal
            * like in ammonites
    * calcareous
"The posterior position of the shell within the body causes the animal to generally orient vertically with the head downward."


    Photophore
<pau Master thesis!
:
    * light emission
    * located at the end of mantle

Also
    * https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photophore


    Location
:
    * tropical Atlantic and tropical IndoWest Pacific Oceans:
        * distributed mostly over the slopes of continents or islands
        * where the bottom depth is between 1000 and 2000 m
        * The most numerous captures came from the vicinity of oceanic islands.
        *  (Bruun, 1943)

    * Indeed, this animal was the most abundant midwater cephalopod collected in the region of the Canary Islands by Clark (1969).
        * viz: http://tolweb.org/tree/ToLimages/SpirulaDist.jpg



* Canary big-eared bat [%]

(Plecotus teneriffae)

    * https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canary_big-eared_bat
    * https://www.iucnredlist.org/species/17602/1424721 !!! <- great website

    * "vulnerable to the risk of extinction" as evaluated by the IUCN (in the red list)

Criteria for this designation:
    * its estimated area of occurrence is less than 20,000 km2 (7,700 sq mi)
    * it is found in fewer than five locations
    * its population is declining
    * it is threatened by habitat loss due to:
        * deforestation
        * use of pesticides near forest habitat
        * loss of roosting sites due to building renovation

Situation:
    * remaining population is estimated ~500-2000
    * only two breeding colonies:
        * one on La Palma (in the Cuevas de los Murciélagos) : natural cave
            https://www.miteco.gob.es/es/biodiversidad/temas/inventarios-nacionales/43_Rhino_tcm7-22018.pdf
        * one on Tenerife, are known
    * the larger colony @La Palma is estimated to have declined by 80% in recent years
    * it is a protected species under Spanish law and international conventions (the Bonn Convention and Berne Convention)

More infos:
    * the Canary Big-eared Bat (Plecotus teneriffae) is highly associated with woodland habitats (coniferous and mixed)
    * occasionally forages in more open and arid areas. Its diet consists primarily of moths
    * recorded roost sites include volcanic tubes, caves, and crevices in abandoned buildings (Trujillo 2002)
    * tree holes and bat or bird boxes are never used (Benzal and Fajardo 1999)



* Madeira Pipistrelle (A BAT) [%]
Pipistrellus maderensis

another bat !!!

* Canary Shrew (SMALL MOUSE) [%]
Crocidura canariensis

    * It's not known how many Canary shrews exist or whether their numbers have changed over the years.
    * Rapid development on the islands is fragmenting and destroying the shrews' habitat.

Navadni tolščak izvira s Kitajske in Indije, kje se uporablja kot začimba in zelenjava. Danes ga najdemo v vseh delih sveta. V Sloveniji povečini raste kot samonikla rastlina na sončnih mestih ob hišah in poteh, kakor plevel po vrtovih, njivah in vinogradih, predvsem po plodni peščeni zemlji. Uspeva le do 800 metrov nadmorske višine.

[!] ANTIPEST/RABBITS— myxomatosis

crazy story
https://ranchotexaslanzarote.com/european-rabbit-oryctolagus-cuniculus/
"a mortal virus affected the rabbit population. In 1951, the artificial use of this virus became popular in order to control de rabbit population. The illness produced by the virus was called Myxomatosis. It provided relief in those parts with sufficient water and thus insect vectors necessary for the spread of the disease. However, Myxomatosis was introduced in Europe and spread readily, provoking the death of thousands of rabbits"
