Habitat & Geographic Range
ハクトウワシ
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.
Widely distributed across Europe (8 countries), North America (United States), and South America (Ecuador).
Common Tiger Beetle
Typically found in virtually all terrestrial and freshwater habitats.
Distributed across Belgium, Denmark, Norway, and Sweden. Listed as Near Threatened, this species requires ongoing monitoring to prevent population decline.
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 Tiger Beetle
<em>Cicindela campestris</em>, the common green tiger beetle, is a predatory beetle in the family Cicindelidae, recorded from Belgium, Denmark, Norway, and Sweden. It is classified as Near Threatened on the IUCN Red List, reflecting population declines linked to habitat loss, particularly the loss of open sandy heathlands, coastal dunes, and dry grasslands across its European range. This beetle is one of the fastest-running terrestrial insects and is an active, visual predator that pursues invertebrate prey with speed and agility. It is characterized by vivid metallic green elytra spotted with cream or white, providing camouflage against sandy substrates. Adults are typically 12–15 millimeters long and are found on bare, sun-exposed sandy ground. Larvae are ambush predators living in vertical burrows in sandy soil, capturing passing insects. The species requires warm, sparsely vegetated sandy habitats that are increasingly rare due to land-use change, scrub encroachment, and development. Conservation of heathland and dune habitats is critical for maintaining viable populations of this Near Threatened species.
