This variable hawk/aguilucho común was photographed at Parque Nacional Cayambe-Coca, Papallacta Pass, Ecuador
Click twice to optimally enlarge the bird (so you can at least sort-of see it's a hawk, to be specific, an accipiter)..
The common name "variable" refers to the species' highly polymorphic forms. Our professional birding guide identified this one in spite of its significant distance over our heads. Notably, we were standing at 14,108 feet, as measured by a fellow traveler's GPS device.
This location is also famous for the array of radio-antennas near its peak, right at the border of Pichincha and Napo provinces.

A highly polymorphic pan-tropical species that needs more work
Stellwagen Bank CBC- 12/30/11
Excerpt from my email to on-board participants regarding the 24-year record-high count of 46 Northern Fulmars and their 3:1 dark/light ratio:
"Perhaps most unusual and surprising was the ratio of dark and light morph fulmars (a polymorphic species). In the Atlantic population, birds in the high Arctic at the northern-most reaches of the species’ range are mostly dark, while those that occupy the southern portions of its range (and the birds we typically see at Stellwagen) are mostly light. Why this pattern was reversed among the birds we saw yesterday is a mystery. Let’s hope it’s not indicative of more trouble in the Arctic due to climate change."

Yup...another for Natalina, who must be amassing a fair amount of data from this site!

The main aim of this group is to record Merodon equestris sightings to build a picture of its colour form variation in the UK.
Merodon equestris is a polymorphic hoverfly known to have at least 34 different colour forms.
The data gathered from this group will be used in an MSc thesis aiming to shed light on where Merodon equestris is most frequently seen, its emergence times, and geographical spread of colour forms across different areas and habitats in the UK.
I would be very grateful if photos of any sightings of Merodon equestris in the UK could be posted on this group. Please include a photo, date, location, details of habitat type (urban park, garden, meadow, woodland ect.) and grid reference. If you are unsure of what your grid reference is then here is a link to a helpful web site called grid reference finder, where you can find your grid reference www.gridreferencefinder.com/.
This group is open to anyone, whether novice or expert. Here is a link to Steven Falk's photo album of Merodon equestris on Flickr to give you an idea of what this species looks like www.flickr.com/…/63075200@N…/sets/72157629553247540/.
All the records posted on this group will be passed on to the Hoverfly Recording Scheme.
Please join this group, add friends and share it with anyone who records or has an interest in hoverflies!
Thank you!

RWWA-2364 BOLD DNA:BOLD DNA: specimen is likely to be one of the following between 98-100%: Zeiraphera improbana, Zeiraphera sp., Zeiraphera hesperiana, Zeiraphera fortunana, Zeiraphera griseana, Zeiraphera unfortunana and Zeiraphera diniana.
The highest DNA matches are with two specimens of Zeiraphera improbana (UBC-2007-0190 and 0193) from British Columbia. These are the only two specimens of Z. improbana with matches over those of Zeiraphera griseana in this group of Zeiraphera from here. This will require additional study.

This matching to the numerous above species I think indicates the polymorphic nature of the group Zeiraphera griseana.

This is a really variable species, with lots of named varieties. Most botanists tend not to put much faith in varietal status (statuses?), but rather look at this stuff as a widely distributed entity...a "polymorphic" species.
It is superficially similar to Stachys, and can fool you in the field, until you get close up to it. Although they look similar, Stachys and Teucrium reside in different subfamiles within the Lamiaceae.

I was a biology geek in school and we a good few trips counting snails , drawing diagrams ...they probably get to play with digi cameras now Sigh...... but if you care a brief and overly simply bio lesson ......all these snail in pictures are the same species Cepaea nemoralis it gets studied a lot in biology cos its polymorphic (within the species it has many physical forms ). On grassland you tend to find just the pale ones, cos the darker snails are very visible to feeding birds and therefore fail to pass on their genes to the next generation . But you get wildly differing types in structually diverse environments like this wood the banding good camouflage for the "stripeys" hanging out on the knots while the "pale snails" prefer the leaves .

A late winter, early spring visit to RHS Wisley Gardens near Ripley in Surrey. As well as the gardens, the tropical greenhouse was transformed into a Butterfly House for the winter.
Papilio memnon, the great Mormon, is a large butterfly native to southern Asia that belongs to the swallowtail family. It is widely distributed and has thirteen subspecies. The female is polymorphic and with mimetic forms.
Its range includes north-eastern India (including Sikkim, Assam and Nagaland), Nepal, Bangladesh, Myanmar, Nicobar Islands, Andaman Islands (stragglers only), western, southern and eastern China (including Hainan), Taiwan, southern Japan including Ryukyu Islands, Thailand, Laos, Vietnam, Kampuchea, Malaysia and Indonesia (Sumatra, Mentawai Islands, Nias, Batu, Simeulue, Bangka, Java, Kalimantan and the Lesser Sunda Islands).
Drosera cistiflora is a widespread highly variable and polymorphic species of sundew from the western Cape region of South Africa. there is tremendous variation in flower size and color as well as stem and leaf morphology. For this region, there are current research efforts to identify and reclassify this 'species' into multiple classifications. The late afternoon light provided a spectacular setting for these images.

During the early 1980s, a lively exchange developed between the Rhineland artist collective Paul Pozzozza Museum (PPM) from Düsseldorf and the Frankfurt-based musician and artist Alfred 23 Harth (A23H). Among the active members of PPM was Marcel Hardung, who, together with other protagonists of the group, came into contact with Harth after one of his experimental concerts at the Düsseldorf Kunsthalle. This meeting marked the beginning of an ongoing artistic relationship that reached beyond regional borders and media distinctions.
At the time, Harth was running the waschSalon gallery in Frankfurt, a self‑organized space dedicated to presenting avant‑garde art and performance. The gallery quickly became a platform where artists from different backgrounds—visual, musical, and conceptual—could meet. Several times, Harth invited and exhibited the artists of the PPM circle at the waschSalon, thereby bringing Düsseldorf tendencies into dialogue with Frankfurt’s own experimental currents. In addition, he purchased several works from the artists who exhibited at waschSalon. Although many of these works cannot be traced today, this act of collecting reveals the degree of engagement and commitment Harth maintained toward emerging artists and their practices.
The visual communication of the waschSalon exhibitions was itself a product of this networked creativity. Invitation cards, posters, and similar material were printed at Zypresse, a local press in Frankfurt that had become part of the gallery’s infrastructure. The contact with Zypresse originated through one of Harth’s saxophone students, who was not only a musician but also a graphic designer. This student designed the logo and typography for waschSalon, thereby shaping its graphic identity and bridging Harth’s dual worlds of music pedagogy and visual experimentation.
Taken together, these interconnections illustrate how artistic initiatives in Düsseldorf and Frankfurt of the period operated in a transdisciplinary spirit. PPM’s conceptual play with the notion of the “museum,” Hardung’s contributions within this group, Harth’s polymorphic practice as musician, visual artist, and gallerist, and the involvement of printers, students, and designers—all were woven into a shared fabric. The outcome was not only the staging of exhibitions and concerts but also the creation of ephemeral networks and friendships, whose traces are now scattered across stories, printed matter, and a few surviving works of art.
