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。

Clint Crisp-Moss

Clint Crisp-moss, Tortella densa, is a small acrocarpous moss in the family Pottiaceae found on exposed limestone pavement, cliff ledges, and calcareous rock outcrops in temperate Europe, with strongholds in the Yorkshire Dales, the Burren of Ireland, and similar karst landscapes. The common name 'clint' refers to the raised limestone blocks of limestone pavement habitats, and 'crisp-moss' describes the crinkled, crisped appearance of the dry leaf margins. When moistened, the leaves uncurl and spread, revealing the characteristic nerve extending to the leaf tip. Tortella densa forms dense, cushion-like or turf-forming colonies on exposed limestone surfaces and in sheltered grykes (the fissures between clints), tolerating periodic desiccation and temperature extremes. Limestone pavement is a rare and highly specialized habitat that supports a distinctive community of plants, mosses, liverworts, and invertebrates, and is legally protected in the United Kingdom and Ireland as a priority habitat under European conservation law. The loss of limestone pavement to quarrying, the covering of surfaces by soil and vegetation succession, and the removal of clint-surface plants by collectors have threatened specialist bryophytes of this habitat. Clint Crisp-moss is considered of conservation concern in Britain and Ireland.
