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).

Cloud forest rocket frog

Habitat

Typically found in freshwater habitats, moist forests, and wetlands.

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。

Cloud forest rocket frog

Cloud forest rocket frogs are small poison frogs in the genus Hyloxalus (family Dendrobatidae) native to cloud forests of the northern and central Andes in Colombia, Ecuador, and Peru. Unlike the brilliantly colored poison dart frogs of lowland forests, Hyloxalus species typically display more cryptic coloration in brown, black, and olive tones with subtle dorsolateral stripes, though their skin secretions contain bioactive alkaloids providing chemical defense. They inhabit the humid leaf litter and rocky streamsides of cloud forest floors at elevations typically between 1,000 and 3,000 meters, where high rainfall and persistent mist maintain the moist conditions required for their moisture-sensitive skin and terrestrial reproductive strategies. Males carry tadpoles on their backs to small streams or seeps for development. Cloud forest rocket frogs are among the most chytrid-affected vertebrate groups globally: Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis chytridiomycosis has caused catastrophic population collapses, and several Hyloxalus species are now Critically Endangered or extinct in the wild due to this fungal disease interacting with climate change and habitat loss.
