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 integrifolia) is a highly variable evergreen tree or large shrub in the family Proteaceae, native to the eastern coast of Australia from Queensland south to Victoria. It grows on coastal dunes, heathland, dry sclerophyll forest, and sandy soils adjacent to the sea, tolerating salt spray, poor soils, and periodic drought. One of the most widely distributed of all banksias, it bears leathery, elongated leaves that are dark green above and white or silver beneath, an adaptation reducing water loss in exposed coastal conditions. Cylindrical yellow flower spikes are produced almost year-round, providing nectar for honeyeaters, lorikeets, and invertebrates. Fruits are woody follicles containing seeds that can be released by fire or natural senescence. Coast banksia is assessed as Least Concern by the IUCN. It is among the most commonly cultivated banksias in Australian horticulture, widely used in coastal revegetation and streetscaping. Its dense growth form provides shelter for small fauna. Populations are generally stable, though localised pressures include urban expansion along the eastern coastal strip and invasion by introduced plants.
