Common Jewelweed

Common Jewelweed (<em>Impatiens capensis</em>) is an annual flowering plant in the family Balsaminaceae, native to North America and widely distributed across portions of Asia and Europe. Its native range includes Canada and the United States in North America, Japan in Asia, and eleven European countries, reflecting a broad geographical distribution. The species typically inhabits diverse terrestrial environments, thriving in moist, shaded conditions such as stream banks, wetland margins, forest understories, and disturbed ground. It is well known for its explosive seed dispersal mechanism, which aids colonization of new sites. Common Jewelweed is frequently associated with riparian corridors and is valued in some regions for its traditional use as a remedy for skin irritation. Its conservation status has not been formally evaluated by the IUCN. Biological traits of this species remain poorly documented in the scientific literature.

Epaulard

イルカ科で最大の種であるシャチ（Orcinus orca）は体長最大9メートル、体重6トンに達し、北極から南極まですべての海洋に生息しています。独特の方言、狩猟戦略、集団間で異なる文化的伝統を持つ母系ポッドで生活する頂点捕食者です。一部の集団は魚類を、他の集団は海洋哺乳類を専門に捕食します。天敵はなく、シャチは生息するすべての海洋食物連鎖の頂点に位置します。
