Habitat & Geographic Range

American Bald Eagle

Habitat

Found across multiple habitat types including tropical and subtropical moist broadleaf forests, tropical and subtropical dry broadleaf forests, and flooded grasslands and savannas, among 10 distinct biome types spanning the Neotropic and Palearctic realms. Populations are also found in montane and highland environments at higher elevations.

Range

Widely distributed across Europe (8 countries), North America (United States), and South America (Ecuador).

Habitat

Typically found in forest floors, decomposing wood, and soil ecosystems.

Range

Distributed across Norway and Sweden.

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.

Chromosera citrinopallida is a species of waxcap mushroom in the family Hygrophoraceae, found in old-growth grasslands and woodland pastures in Europe. Waxcap fungi of the family Hygrophoraceae are characteristic species of unimproved grasslands that have not been subject to fertilization, plowing, or herbicide application for many decades. These grassland waxcap communities are considered indicators of high ecological value and ancient, undisturbed grassland continuity. The fruiting bodies of Chromosera citrinopallida are small and typically display pale yellowish or citrine coloration, as suggested by the specific epithet. Waxcap grasslands of northern and western Europe, including those in the United Kingdom, Scandinavia, and the Baltic states, support exceptional diversity of fungi including waxcaps, earthtongues, and clavarioid species, and are recognized as priority habitats for conservation. Chromosera citrinopallida, like many specialist grassland fungi, is sensitive to changes in soil chemistry caused by fertilizer application, which alters fungal community composition and eliminates specialist species. The species is likely to have declined alongside the widespread loss of traditional meadow and pasture management across Europe during the twentieth century.
