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 rufofusca is a small discomycete in the family Sclerotiniaceae, recorded from temperate Europe. The species is a saprotrophic cup fungus that fruits on fallen plant material, with records suggesting an association with catkins or mast of various deciduous trees, consistent with other members of the Ciboria genus. The fruiting bodies are stalked cups with a reddish-brown to ochre coloration, giving the species its name, which translates roughly as red-brown Ciboria. The species has not been formally assessed by the IUCN. As with many small discomycetes, Ciboria rufofusca is likely under-recorded due to its inconspicuous size, brief fruiting season, and the specialist knowledge required for identification. Microscopic features—spore morphology, paraphysis structure, and excipular anatomy—are essential for distinguishing this species from close relatives. The genus Ciboria belongs to Sclerotiniaceae, a family that also includes major plant pathogens, though Ciboria species themselves are saprotrophic decomposers rather than parasites. European temperate woodlands support a diverse community of substrate-specific discomycetes, many of which remain poorly documented. The conservation status and population trends of Ciboria rufofusca are unknown, as systematic surveys of small cup fungi across Europe are limited. It likely plays a role in decomposing woodland organic matter and cycling nutrients within forest floor ecosystems.
