FROM TODAY'S FEATURED ARTICLE

The Inaccessible Island rail (Laterallus rogersi) is a bird found only on
Inaccessible Island in the South Atlantic Tristan archipelago. This rail, the
smallest extant flightless bird, was described by physician Percy Lowe in 1923.
The adult has brown plumage, a black bill, black feet, and red eyes. It occupies
most habitats on the island, from the beaches to the central plateau, feeding on
a variety of small invertebrates and some plant matter. Pairs are territorial
and monogamous; both parents incubate the eggs and raise the chicks. The rail's
adaptations to living on a tiny island at high densities include a low basal
metabolic rate, small clutch sizes, and flightlessness. Unlike many other
oceanic islands, Inaccessible Island has remained free from introduced
predators, allowing this species to flourish while many other flightless rails
have gone extinct. The species is nevertheless considered vulnerable, due to the
danger of a single catastrophe wiping out the small, isolated population.

TODAY'S FEATURED PICTURE

Pelléas et Mélisande is an opera in five acts with music by the French composer
Claude Debussy. The French-language libretto was adapted from Maurice
Maeterlinck's symbolist play Pelléas and Mélisande. The plot concerns a love
triangle between Prince Golaud, Mélisande (a mysterious young woman he had found
lost in a forest), and Golaud's younger half-brother Pelléas. The only opera
Debussy ever completed, Pelléas et Mélisande premiered on 30 April 1902 at the
Salle Favart in Paris, performed by the Opéra-Comique, with Jean Périer as
Pelléas and Mary Garden as Mélisande. The premiere was conducted by André
Messager, who was instrumental in getting the Opéra-Comique to stage the work.
This poster by the French painter Georges Rochegrosse was produced for the
premiere.
