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).

Cliff Case-bearer

Habitat

Typically found in virtually all terrestrial and freshwater habitats.

Range

Distributed across Denmark and Sweden.

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。

Cliff Case-bearer

The Cliff Case-bearer, Coleophora species, is a small micro-moth in the family Coleophoridae whose larvae construct and carry portable, protective cases made from plant material, silk, and their own excrement, hence the name case-bearer. The larvae feed within these cases on the leaves or seeds of specific host plants, often grasses or forbs growing on cliff faces, rocky slopes, and coastal headlands. The Coleophoridae is a very large family of small moths with thousands of described species, many of them host-plant specific. Adult Cliff Case-bearers are typically narrow-winged, with lanceolate, often buff or gray-brown wings held tightly against the body at rest. Identification to species level requires microscopic examination of genitalia. The larvae overwinter in their cases on the ground before resuming feeding in spring. The ecology of cliff case-bearers is closely tied to their specific host plants, and they are sensitive to changes in vegetation management and plant community composition on cliffs and rocky habitats. As with many microlepidoptera, specific information on distribution, host plant associations, and conservation status requires detailed taxonomic study of the exact species in question.
