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 Wall Cress

<em>Arabidopsis thaliana</em>, commonly known as common wall cress or thale cress, is a small annual flowering plant in the family Brassicaceae native to Eurasia and Africa, and now naturalized in North America, Australia, and other temperate regions worldwide. The species has become one of the most important model organisms in plant biology and genetics, owing to its small genome size, short generation time of approximately six weeks, prolific seed production, and ease of laboratory cultivation. <em>Arabidopsis thaliana</em> was the first plant to have its complete genome sequenced, in 2000, revolutionizing our understanding of plant molecular biology, development, and physiology. In nature, it typically grows in rocky outcrops, disturbed sandy soils, walls, roadsides, and waste ground, tolerating poor nutrient conditions and a wide range of climates. The plant produces a basal rosette of small ovate leaves, followed by an erect flowering stem bearing tiny white four-petaled flowers and slender silique seed pods. Despite its modest appearance, <em>Arabidopsis thaliana</em> has facilitated thousands of scientific discoveries in plant genetics, epigenetics, and stress responses. The species is currently assessed as Least Concern by the IUCN. Biological traits such as average lifespan, plant height up to 30 centimeters, and seed output are well-characterized in laboratory settings.
