Habitat & Geographic Range
白头海雕
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.
Widely distributed across Europe (8 countries), North America (United States), and South America (Ecuador).
Clavate Bent
Typically found in grasslands, wetlands, forests, and cultivated landscapes.
Widely distributed across Asia (Taiwan), Europe (Finland, Norway, Sweden), and North America (Canada, United States).
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。
Clavate Bent
The Clavate Bent, Agrostis truncatula, is a small tufted grass in the family Poaceae found in rocky, open habitats across the western Mediterranean region, including Spain, Portugal, and northwestern Africa. The common name refers to the somewhat club-shaped or truncated appearance of its spikelets. Like other Agrostis species, Clavate Bent grows in dry, thin-soiled, often acidic substrates on cliff faces, rocky outcrops, and sandy soils at low to moderate elevations. It is a perennial species producing slender, erect culms with fine, narrow leaf blades and open to contracted panicles of small, one-flowered spikelets. The genus Agrostis is one of the most species-rich grass genera in temperate regions, with many species adapted to disturbed and marginal habitats where competition from larger grasses is reduced. Agrostis truncatula provides ground cover and forage in open habitats, contributing to soil stabilization on steep rocky slopes. The species is not currently considered threatened globally, though its preference for rocky, nutrient-poor habitats means that it may be sensitive to changes in land use and vegetation succession as shrub and forest cover expands in the absence of traditional grazing.
