Habitat & Geographic Range

ハクトウワシ

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).

Cinnabar Webcap

Habitat

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

Range

Distributed across Belgium, Denmark, Norway, Sweden, and Taiwan. Currently classified as Vulnerable on the IUCN Red List, this species faces significant conservation challenges across its range.

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。

Cinnabar Webcap

Cinnabar webcap (Cortinarius cinnabarinus) is a brightly colored mushroom in the family Cortinariaceae, found in deciduous and mixed woodland across Europe. It produces vivid cinnabar-red to orange-red fruiting bodies with a conical to broadly convex cap, red gills that turn cinnamon-brown with age, and a red stipe with a cobwebby cortina (partial veil) characteristic of the genus Cortinarius. The species grows in mycorrhizal association with broadleaf trees, particularly beech (Fagus) and oak (Quercus), fruiting in late summer and autumn. The cinnabar webcap is classified as Vulnerable in European red lists, reflecting population declines associated with loss of mycorrhizal host trees, changes in forest management, soil acidification, and nitrogen deposition. The genus Cortinarius is the largest genus of agaric fungi in the Northern Hemisphere, with thousands of species, many of which are poorly studied. Like other webcaps, Cortinarius cinnabarinus is inedible and some Cortinarius species are highly toxic. Its striking red coloration is unusual within the genus and makes it relatively easy to identify in the field. Conservation of old-growth and mature beech forest in Europe is critical for sustaining populations of this and many other mycorrhizal fungi. Ectomycorrhizal fungi like webcaps provide essential nutrient exchange services to forest trees.
