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。

<em>Comatricha ellae</em> is a plasmodial slime mold in the class Myxomycetes, order Stemonitidales, belonging to the diverse genus <em>Comatricha</em>. Members of this genus are characterized by their stalked sporangia with a persistent stalk and an elaborate internal capillitial network that aids in spore dispersal. <em>C. ellae</em> has been recorded from Europe and South America, growing on decomposing wood, bark, and other plant debris in moist forest environments. The feeding stage of the organism is a multinucleate plasmodium that migrates across substrates and engulfs microorganisms and organic particles. Upon maturation, the plasmodium aggregates and differentiates into sporangia that release airborne spores. As with other myxomycetes, the species lacks conventional biological traits such as body length or mass, and no quantitative metrics are available. It is not evaluated on the IUCN Red List.
