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。

Coliseum-Ivy

<em>Cymbalaria muralis</em>, commonly known as Coliseum Ivy or Kenilworth Ivy, is a trailing flowering plant in the family Plantaginaceae. It has not been formally assessed under the IUCN Red List. The species has a wide global distribution, documented in Africa, Asia, Europe, North America, Oceania, and South America, with specific country records including Albania, Australia, Belarus, Belgium, and Brazil. Originally native to the Mediterranean region of southern Europe, it has spread widely and often naturalizes on stone walls, rocky surfaces, and pavements. The plant is characterized by small, lobed leaves and tiny purple-and-yellow flowers resembling miniature snapdragons. An interesting adaptation of <em>Cymbalaria muralis</em> is its phototropic behavior: the flower stalks bend toward light during flowering to facilitate pollination, then turn away from light after fertilization, directing developing seed capsules into crevices in walls where seeds can germinate. Population estimates, population trend, diet, and biological measurements are not documented in available records. Biological traits of this species remain poorly documented in the scientific literature.
