Белоголовый орлан

The national bird of the United States and a symbol of American conservation success, bald eagles have a wingspan of up to 2.4 meters and inhabit forests and wetlands near open water across North America. Powerful aerial predators and scavengers, they specialize in fish but also take waterfowl and carrion. Nearly extinct by the 1960s due to DDT poisoning and hunting, the bald eagle recovered dramatically following pesticide bans and the Endangered Species Act.

Rhizobium laguerreae is a nitrogen-fixing alphaproteobacterium in the family Rhizobiaceae, capable of forming symbiotic root nodules on various legume species. It fixes atmospheric nitrogen in exchange for organic carbon from its host plant, contributing to soil fertility and reducing the need for synthetic nitrogen fertilizers. The species was named to honor microbiologist Dr. Laguerre.
