Habitat & Geographic Range

ハクトウワシ

Habitat

Found across multiple habitat types including tropical and subtropical moist broadleaf forests, tropical and subtropical dry broadleaf forests, and flooded grasslands and savannas, among 10 distinct biome types spanning the Neotropic and Palearctic realms. Populations are also found in montane and highland environments at higher elevations.

Range

Widely distributed across Europe (8 countries), North America (United States), and South America (Ecuador).

Common Pin Spiderhead

Habitat

Typically found in diverse terrestrial habitats from tropical forests to temperate regions.

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 Pin Spiderhead

<em>Serruria fasciflora</em>, the common pin spiderhead, is a shrub in the family Proteaceae endemic to the Cape Floristic Region of South Africa, one of the world's most species-rich botanical hotspots. It produces delicate, feathery flowerheads with slender bracts and small florets arranged in a clustered inflorescence that gives the plant its evocative common name. Like other members of the genus Serruria, it is adapted to the nutrient-poor, acidic, well-drained soils of the fynbos biome, where it coexists with a highly diverse array of flowering plants and depends on specialised pollinators including bees and flies. <em>Serruria fasciflora</em> is fire-adapted in accordance with the natural disturbance regime of fynbos, typically regenerating from seed following periodic burns. The species is assessed as Least Concern on the IUCN Red List, though the broader fynbos biome faces significant pressures from invasive alien plants, agricultural conversion, urban sprawl, and inappropriate fire management. Biological traits such as average plant lifespan, typical shrub dimensions, and detailed reproductive biology remain poorly documented in the scientific literature. Conservation of the species depends on the maintenance of intact, functioning fynbos habitat across the Cape Floristic Region.
