American Bald Eagle
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.
Peronospora conglomerata is an obligate biotrophic oomycete in the family Peronosporaceae, causing downy mildew disease on specific host plants. It forms branching sporangiophores that emerge through stomata to release sporangia dispersed by air currents. Like other downy mildews, it requires a specific host species and living tissue to complete its life cycle.
