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。

Cluster Spiderhead

Serruria glomerata, the cluster spiderhead, is a flowering shrub endemic to the Cape Floristic Region of South Africa, one of the world's six recognized floral kingdoms and a global biodiversity hotspot. The species belongs to the family Proteaceae and is restricted to fynbos, the fire-adapted shrubland of the Western Cape characterized by nutrient-poor, often acidic soils of sandstone or granite origin. Like other Serruria species, S. glomerata produces intricate, lace-like flower heads composed of many small flowers surrounded by feathery, spider-like bracts, which are pollinated by a range of insects including bees and beetles. Serruria glomerata is assessed as Least Concern by the IUCN, though like all Cape fynbos plants it exists within a biodiversity-rich but geographically confined region under persistent pressure from agricultural expansion, urban development, invasive alien plants, and altered fire regimes. The genus Serruria comprises around 55 species, most endemic to the Western Cape. Many require fire for seed release and germination, and some have obligate relationships with specific ant species that cache and bury their seeds, a process called myrmecochory that aids in seed dispersal and protection from fire.
