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。

Comb Notchwort

<em>Sphenolobus minutus</em>, the comb notchwort, is a small leafy liverwort in the family Anastrophyllaceae, assessed as Least Concern on the IUCN Red List. It has a broad distribution across Europe and both North and South America, indicating a widespread presence in the Northern and Southern Hemispheres. As a liverwort, <em>S. minutus</em> belongs to the division Marchantiophyta and is among the earliest-diverging land plant lineages. It inhabits moist, shaded environments on decaying wood, mineral soil, and rock surfaces in forested and montane settings. The plant forms dense mats or patches of small, deeply lobed leaves arranged on a creeping stem, with lobes that may appear notched or comb-like in texture. Liverworts reproduce both sexually via spores and vegetatively via gemmae. <em>S. minutus</em> is sensitive to habitat moisture and atmospheric conditions, making it a potential bioindicator of environmental quality.
