Habitat & Geographic Range
ハクトウワシ
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.
Widely distributed across Europe (8 countries), North America (United States), and South America (Ecuador).
Clay-Coloured Weevil
Typically found in virtually all terrestrial and freshwater habitats.
Found across Europe (32 countries) and North America (Canada, United States).
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。
Clay-Coloured Weevil
The Clay-coloured Weevil, Otiorhynchus singularis, is a small flightless beetle in the family Curculionidae native to Europe and widely established as an introduced pest in many parts of North America and other temperate regions. The adult weevil is typically 5–7 mm in length, mottled gray-brown or clay-colored with patches of pale scales that provide camouflage against bark and soil. Like other Otiorhynchus weevils, the Clay-coloured Weevil is parthenogenetic in most introduced populations, consisting entirely of females that reproduce without mating. Adults are nocturnal, feeding on the foliage and bark of a wide range of host plants including strawberries, raspberries, currants, ornamental shrubs, and nursery stock. The larvae develop in soil, feeding on roots and causing significant damage that can girdle and kill established plants. The species is considered a serious horticultural pest in affected regions, causing economic losses in soft fruit production, nurseries, and ornamental plantings. Management typically involves biological control using entomopathogenic nematodes or fungi, as chemical control of soil-dwelling larvae is difficult. The species is well established across temperate Europe and has been accidentally introduced to parts of North America through the horticultural trade.
