American Bald Eagle

흰머리독수리(Haliaeetus leucocephalus)는 미국의 국조이자 미국 자연 보전 성공의 상징으로, 날개 폭이 최대 2.4미터에 달하며 북미 전역의 수변 삼림과 습지에 서식한다. 주로 물고기를 포식하는 강력한 공중 포식자이자 청소 동물로, DDT 오염과 남획으로 1960년대에 멸종 위기에 처했으나 농약 사용 금지와 멸종위기종보호법 시행 이후 극적으로 개체수가 회복되었다.

<em>Comatricha suksdorfii</em> is a plasmodial slime mold in the order Stemonitidales, class Myxomycetes, named in honor of botanist Wilhelm Nikolaus Suksdorf. As a member of the genus <em>Comatricha</em>, it is characterized by stalked, cylindrical or ovoid sporangia supported by a persistent stalk, with an internal capillitium assisting in spore dispersal. The species inhabits decomposing woody substrates and moist forest litter, where the vegetative plasmodium feeds on bacteria and other microorganisms. Environmental or nutritional cues trigger aggregation and differentiation into fruiting bodies, from which spores are released into the air. <em>C. suksdorfii</em> participates in nutrient cycling and decomposition processes in its woodland habitat. No specific geographic range data are recorded in the current record, and no quantitative biological traits are applicable to this organism. The species has not been evaluated by the IUCN.
