A ave nacional dos Estados Unidos e símbolo do sucesso conservacionista americano, a águia-careca tem uma envergadura de até 2,4 metros e habita florestas e zonas húmidas próximas de águas abertas em toda a América do Norte. Quase extinta na década de 1960 devido ao envenenamento por DDT e à caça, recuperou de forma notável após as proibições de pesticidas e a Lei das Espécies em Perigo.

<em>Cuphea carthagenensis</em>, the Colombian waxweed, is a herbaceous flowering plant in the family Lythraceae with a strikingly broad global distribution. Native to Colombia and Brazil in South America, the species has been introduced or naturalised across Africa, Asia, North America, and Oceania, including countries in West Africa, Southeast Asia, Australia, New Zealand, and across the Caribbean and Central America. This cosmopolitan distribution reflects both intentional introduction as an ornamental or medicinal plant and inadvertent dispersal through agricultural activity. <em>Cuphea carthagenensis</em> occupies nine distinct biome types, including tropical moist broadleaf forests, cultivated lands, and disturbed habitats, demonstrating considerable ecological plasticity. The genus <em>Cuphea</em> is notable for producing seed oils with medium-chain fatty acids, attracting interest from agricultural and biofuel industries. The species is assessed as Least Concern by the IUCN. Small tubular flowers characteristic of the genus attract hummingbirds and other pollinators in its native South American range. Biological traits of this species remain poorly documented in the scientific literature.
