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。

Compact Prairie-clover

<em>Dalea compacta</em>, compact prairie clover, is a perennial leguminous herb in the family Fabaceae native to the central grasslands and prairies of North America. It is one of numerous prairie clover species in the genus Dalea, a diverse New World genus comprising over 160 species distributed from Canada to Argentina. Compact prairie clover grows typically in dry to mesic grasslands, rocky prairies, and open hillsides, often on calcareous or sandy soils with good drainage. It typically forms compact, low-growing mounds of pinnate leaves bearing small, purple to rose-coloured flowers arranged in dense cylindrical spikes that are highly attractive to native bees and other pollinators. As a legume, it fixes atmospheric nitrogen through root nodule symbiosis with Rhizobium bacteria, contributing to soil fertility in grassland ecosystems. The species is classified as Least Concern by the IUCN, indicating a stable population without significant current threats across its native range. It is adapted to periodic fire regimes that characterise native prairie ecosystems and can resprout vigorously following fire. Compact prairie clover is valued in native plant horticulture and prairie restoration projects for its drought tolerance, wildlife value, and soil-improving properties. Biological traits including average lifespan, precise body measurements, and population trend data remain poorly documented in the formal literature.
