Climbing Bindweed

Climbing Bindweed, Calystegia sepium or related Convolvulus species in the family Convolvulaceae, is a vigorous twining perennial vine native to temperate regions of Europe, Asia, and North America, widely naturalized in disturbed habitats worldwide. The species climbs over hedgerows, fences, tall herbs, and shrubs by twining its flexible stems counterclockwise around supporting structures, sometimes smothering vegetation under dense leafy growth. The leaves are broadly arrow-shaped or hastate, and the funnel-shaped flowers are large, white to pale pink, and open during daylight hours. Like its relatives, Climbing Bindweed has deeply buried, extensively spreading rhizomes that are extremely difficult to eradicate once established. The extensive root system enables survival of herbicide treatments and mechanical disturbance, making the species a persistent weed in gardens, agricultural land, and riparian habitats. Despite its weedy character, the flowers provide nectar for bumblebees and are visited by hawk moths at dusk. The species is not threatened globally; it is considered common and often invasive across temperate regions. It has considerable cultural significance, appearing frequently in art and folklore as a symbol of persistence and entanglement.

아메리카 대륙에서 가장 큰 고양잇과 동물로, 체중이 최대 100kg에 달하며 단단하고 근육질의 체형과 특유의 로제트 무늬 털가죽을 지닌다. 멕시코에서 남아메리카까지 분포하며, 아마존과 판타날이 주요 서식지다. 뛰어난 수영 실력을 갖춘 최상위 포식자로, 먹이 개체수 조절에 핵심적 역할을 한다. 산림 벌채로 인해 서식 범위가 줄어들어 준위협종으로 분류된다.
