백상아리

Habitat

Found across multiple habitat types including tropical and subtropical moist broadleaf forests, temperate broadleaf and mixed forests, and temperate grasslands and steppes, among 9 distinct biome types spanning the Indomalayan and Neotropic and Palearctic realms. Populations are also found in montane and highland environments at higher elevations.

Range

Distributed across Chile, Norway, Portugal, and Taiwan. Currently classified as Vulnerable on the IUCN Red List, this species faces significant conservation challenges across its range.

Common Flat-body

Habitat

Typically found in virtually all terrestrial and freshwater habitats.

Range

Distributed across Belgium, Denmark, Norway, and Sweden.

백상아리

지구상에서 가장 큰 포식성 어류인 백상아리는 전 세계 주요 대양의 시원한 연안 및 원해에 서식하며, 체장 6미터, 체중 2,000킬로그램까지 성장할 수 있습니다. 해양 포유류, 대형 어류, 바닷새를 주요 먹이로 하여 아래에서 기습 공격하는 최상위 포식자입니다. 무서운 명성에도 불구하고 인간에 대한 비도발적 공격은 극히 드뭅니다. 지느러미 채취, 혼획, 목적성 포획으로 개체수가 감소하고 있어 IUCN에서 취약(VU)으로 분류되며, 많은 지역에서 법적 보호를 받고 있습니다.

Common Flat-body

<em>Agonopterix heracliana</em> is a moth belonging to the family Depressariidae within the order Lepidoptera. Commonly known as the common flat-body, this species is named for the flattened resting posture characteristic of the genus Agonopterix. The species is classified as Least Concern on the IUCN Red List, with no indication of significant population decline. <em>Agonopterix heracliana</em> is distributed across northwestern Europe, with documented occurrences in Belgium, Denmark, Norway, and Sweden. Larvae of this species are typically associated with plants in the family Apiaceae, particularly hogweed (Heracleum sphondylium) and related umbellifers, upon which they feed while sheltering in rolled or folded leaves. Adults are typically brownish with subtle markings and are active from late summer through winter and early spring, overwintering as adults — an unusual life history trait among moths. The species inhabits hedgerows, woodland margins, and meadows where its host plants are abundant. Biological traits of this species remain poorly documented in the scientific literature.
