Habitat & Geographic Range

白头海雕

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).

Christine’s Grevillea

Habitat

白头海雕

白头海雕是美国国鸟，也是美国生态保护史上的成功案例，曾因滴滴涕（DDT）的广泛使用而濒临灭绝，经保护措施的实施后种群数量已显著恢复。该物种在IUCN红色名录中被评估为无危（LC），以白色头颈和尾羽与深棕色体羽形成的鲜明对比为主要识别特征。它们主要以鱼类为食，也会捕食哺乳动物和腐肉。

Christine’s Grevillea

Christine's grevillea (Grevillea christineae) is a flowering shrub in the family Proteaceae, endemic to Western Australia. Grevillea is one of the largest genera in Proteaceae, with over 350 species distributed primarily across Australia. Christine's grevillea, like many members of this diverse genus, is adapted to the nutrient-poor soils and dry, fire-prone landscapes of southwestern Australia, one of the world's recognized biodiversity hotspots. Grevillea species typically produce distinctive spider flower or toothbrush-style inflorescences rich in nectar, making them important resources for honeyeaters, lorikeets, and other nectarivorous birds and insects. The genus exhibits remarkable diversity in flower color, leaf shape, and growth form, ranging from low ground covers to small trees. Christine's grevillea is a limited-range endemic, and like many narrow-range Western Australian species, it faces potential threats from habitat clearing, altered fire regimes, and invasive species such as Phytophthora cinnamomi, a water mold that devastates Proteaceae-dominated vegetation. Western Australia's Banksia woodlands and kwongan heathlands support extraordinary concentrations of endemic plant life, and the conservation of such habitats is critical for species like Christine's grevillea. The species has not been widely assessed but warrants monitoring given its restricted distribution.
