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 Southern Mallee

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 Southern Mallee

<em>Eucalyptus phaenophylla</em>, commonly known as the common southern mallee, is a multi-stemmed shrub or small tree in the family Myrtaceae, endemic to southwestern Western Australia. This species typically grows in mallee heath and scrubland habitats on sandy or lateritic soils, forming dense thickets that provide important shelter and foraging resources for native wildlife. The species is typically found in the wheatbelt and adjacent regions of southwestern Australia, where it contributes to the characteristic mallee ecosystem. Listed as Vulnerable on the IUCN Red List, <em>Eucalyptus phaenophylla</em> faces ongoing threats from land clearing for agriculture, altered fire regimes, and habitat fragmentation across its restricted range. Like many eucalypts, it regenerates from a lignotuber after fire, an adaptation that allows recovery from periodic burning. The species produces small white flowers that attract native pollinators including honeyeaters and insects. Biological traits such as average lifespan, body dimensions, and dietary specifics remain poorly documented in the scientific literature for this plant species. Conservation efforts focus on protecting remaining native vegetation remnants and managing fire frequency to support population persistence across its fragmented southwestern Australian distribution.
