Habitat & Geographic Range

Weißkopf-Seeadler

Habitat

Found across multiple habitat types including tropical and subtropical moist broadleaf forests, tropical and subtropical dry broadleaf forests, and flooded grasslands and savannas, among 10 distinct biome types spanning the Neotropic and Palearctic realms. Populations are also found in montane and highland environments at higher elevations.

Range

Widely distributed across Europe (8 countries), North America (United States), and South America (Ecuador).

Seidigweiße Gewebehaut

Habitat

Typically found in forest floors, decomposing wood, and soil ecosystems.

Range

Distributed across Belgium, Denmark, Norway, and Taiwan.

Weißkopf-Seeadler

The national bird of the United States and a symbol of American conservation success, bald eagles have a wingspan of up to 2.4 meters and inhabit forests and wetlands near open water across North America. Powerful aerial predators and scavengers, they specialize in fish but also take waterfowl and carrion. Nearly extinct by the 1960s due to DDT poisoning and hunting, the bald eagle recovered dramatically following pesticide bans and the Endangered Species Act.

Seidigweiße Gewebehaut

Athelia bombacina is a corticioid basidiomycete in the family Atheliaceae, producing thin, white resupinate fruitbodies on decaying wood and bark in forest habitats. It can act as a mycoparasite on other fungi and is known to produce enzymes that degrade fungal cell walls. Assessed as Data Deficient, its actual distribution and ecological role in European forests are not well characterized.
