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).

Concealed Conebush

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。

Concealed Conebush

<em>Leucadendron cryptocephalum</em>, commonly known as the Concealed Conebush, is a flowering shrub in the family Proteaceae, endemic to the Cape Floristic Region of South Africa—one of the world's most botanically diverse and threatened biodiversity hotspots. The genus Leucadendron comprises dioecious woody plants in which male and female flowers are borne on separate individuals, with females typically developing cone-like seed heads adapted for serotiny or animal-aided dispersal. <em>Leucadendron cryptocephalum</em> typically grows in fynbos shrubland, a fire-adapted Mediterranean-climate biome restricted to the Western Cape and Eastern Cape provinces of South Africa, where it occupies specific edaphic niches on well-drained, nutrient-poor soils. The species is currently classified as Endangered by the IUCN, reflecting severe habitat loss driven by agricultural expansion, urban development, invasive alien plant encroachment, and altered fire regimes that disrupt the natural regeneration cycle of fynbos vegetation. As a Proteaceae member, it plays a role in fynbos food webs by providing nectar for specialist sunbirds and insects. Population size and trend data remain limited, but ongoing habitat transformation in the Cape Floristic Region continues to threaten its long-term survival.
