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 large wetland moss

Common Large Wetland Moss (<em>Calliergonella cuspidata</em>) is a pleurocarpous moss in the family Calliergonaceae, classified as Least Concern on the IUCN Red List. It is native to Europe (six countries), North America (United States), and South America (Brazil, Chile, and Colombia), reflecting a distribution across both hemispheres. The species typically grows in wet grasslands, fens, marshes, lake margins, and other damp habitats where it forms extensive, often dominant mats. Its pointed shoot tips and cushion-forming growth habit are characteristic features. This moss plays an important ecological role in wetland ecosystems, contributing to peat formation, water retention, and providing microhabitats for invertebrates and other small organisms. Its broad distribution across Europe, North America, and South America and stable population dynamics support its Least Concern assessment. Biological traits of this species remain poorly documented in the scientific literature.
