Common Ladies' Tresses

Common Ladies' Tresses (<em>Spiranthes cernua</em>) is a terrestrial orchid in the family Orchidaceae, native to North America and parts of Europe. Its range includes Belgium, Canada, and the United States, where it typically grows in grasslands, wetlands, forests, and cultivated landscapes. The species is characterized by a spiral arrangement of small white flowers along a slender stem, giving rise to the common name. It typically favors moist, open habitats including wet meadows, stream banks, bogs, and the margins of ponds, though it also occurs in drier grasslands and open woodlands. As an orchid, it depends on mycorrhizal fungi for germination and early establishment. Its conservation status has not been formally evaluated by the IUCN. Common Ladies' Tresses is considered a late-season bloomer in temperate North America and is valued as an indicator of high-quality natural habitats where it persists. Biological traits of this species remain poorly documented in the scientific literature.

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.
