Cluster Spiderhead

Serruria glomerata, the cluster spiderhead, is a flowering shrub endemic to the Cape Floristic Region of South Africa, one of the world's six recognized floral kingdoms and a global biodiversity hotspot. The species belongs to the family Proteaceae and is restricted to fynbos, the fire-adapted shrubland of the Western Cape characterized by nutrient-poor, often acidic soils of sandstone or granite origin. Like other Serruria species, S. glomerata produces intricate, lace-like flower heads composed of many small flowers surrounded by feathery, spider-like bracts, which are pollinated by a range of insects including bees and beetles. Serruria glomerata is assessed as Least Concern by the IUCN, though like all Cape fynbos plants it exists within a biodiversity-rich but geographically confined region under persistent pressure from agricultural expansion, urban development, invasive alien plants, and altered fire regimes. The genus Serruria comprises around 55 species, most endemic to the Western Cape. Many require fire for seed release and germination, and some have obligate relationships with specific ant species that cache and bury their seeds, a process called myrmecochory that aids in seed dispersal and protection from fire.

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.
