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).
Cluster Spiderhead
Typically found in diverse terrestrial habitats from tropical forests to temperate regions.
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。
Cluster Spiderhead
Serruria glomerata, the cluster spiderhead, is a flowering shrub endemic to the Cape Floristic Region of South Africa, one of the world's six recognized floral kingdoms and a global biodiversity hotspot. The species belongs to the family Proteaceae and is restricted to fynbos, the fire-adapted shrubland of the Western Cape characterized by nutrient-poor, often acidic soils of sandstone or granite origin. Like other Serruria species, S. glomerata produces intricate, lace-like flower heads composed of many small flowers surrounded by feathery, spider-like bracts, which are pollinated by a range of insects including bees and beetles. Serruria glomerata is assessed as Least Concern by the IUCN, though like all Cape fynbos plants it exists within a biodiversity-rich but geographically confined region under persistent pressure from agricultural expansion, urban development, invasive alien plants, and altered fire regimes. The genus Serruria comprises around 55 species, most endemic to the Western Cape. Many require fire for seed release and germination, and some have obligate relationships with specific ant species that cache and bury their seeds, a process called myrmecochory that aids in seed dispersal and protection from fire.
