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。

Common Field Horsetail

The Common Field Horsetail (<em>Equisetum arvense</em>) is a vascular plant belonging to the genus Equisetum within the family Equisetaceae. It is one of the most widespread and recognisable of the horsetail species, characterised by its jointed, hollow stems and whorls of slender branches. The species is found across multiple habitat types including tropical and subtropical moist broadleaf forests, temperate broadleaf and mixed forests, and temperate coniferous forests, spanning the Afrotropic and Palearctic biogeographic realms. Its geographic distribution is exceptionally broad, encompassing Africa including Mauritius, Asia including Iran and Taiwan, nine European countries, North America including Canada, Mexico, and the United States, Oceania including Australia and New Zealand, and South America including Brazil. <em>Equisetum arvense</em> is assessed as Least Concern on the IUCN Red List. The plant often colonises disturbed soils and is considered a persistent weed in agricultural settings. Biological traits beyond its distinctive morphology remain poorly documented in the scientific literature.
