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。

coast banksia

Coast banksia (Banksia attenuata) is an erect shrub or small tree in the family Proteaceae, endemic to the southwestern coastal region of Western Australia. It is one of the most abundant banksias in the northern sandplains and coastal heathland of the Southwest Australian Floristic Region, growing on deep, nutrient-poor white or yellow sands in kwongan heathland and woodland. It produces tall yellow cylindrical flower spikes that are an important nectar resource for honeyeaters, nectarivorous mammals, and invertebrates. The distinctive long, narrow, serrated leaves and persistent old follicles on flowering spikes are identifying characteristics. Banksia attenuata is assessed as Vulnerable by the IUCN, primarily due to the devastating impact of Phytophthora cinnamomi, a water mould causing dieback that has killed extensive areas of kwongan heathland in southwestern Australia. Additional threats include inappropriate fire regimes, habitat clearing, and the effects of reduced rainfall associated with climate change in the southwest. It is among the most studied banksias in relation to plant pathogen impacts and serves as a model organism in research on conservation responses to Phytophthora.
