ハクトウワシ

アメリカの国鳥であり保全の成功を象徴するハクトウワシは翼開長が最大2.4 mに達し、北米全域の水辺近くの森林や湿地に生息する。強力な空中捕食者兼腐肉食者で魚を主食とするが、水鳥や腐肉も捕食する。DDT汚染と狩猟によって1960年代にほぼ絶滅に瀕したが、農薬の使用禁止と絶滅危惧種法の施行により劇的に回復した。

Ciboria betulae is a small discomycete fungus in the family Sclerotiniaceae, associated with birch (Betula) trees across temperate Europe and northern Asia. The species fruits on fallen birch catkins, seeds, or occasionally on decaying birch wood in moist woodland habitats and riparian zones. Its fruiting bodies are typical of the genus: small, stalked cup fungi with a pale to medium brown, concave disc surface. Ciboria betulae is saprotrophic, breaking down plant debris and contributing to nutrient cycling in birch woodland ecosystems. The species name clearly references its host association with Betula. It is classified as Least Concern, reflecting a distribution that is wide, though perhaps locally patchy, across birch-dominated forests and woodland edges. Birch catkins provide a specific substrate window in late spring and early summer after they fall, meaning the fruiting season of this species is typically brief and easily missed. Microscopic features including ascospore dimensions and shape, paraphysis morphology, and excipular tissue help differentiate Ciboria betulae from closely related species on other substrates. The genus Ciboria encompasses multiple species each associated with particular plant substrates, representing a degree of substrate specialization unusual among saprotrophic cup fungi. Records are scattered but consistent across the temperate birch belt of Eurasia.
