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。
Coastal Box
Eucalyptus quadrangulata, the coastal box, is a medium-sized eucalyptus tree in the family Myrtaceae native to the coast and ranges of eastern Australia, from southeastern Queensland through New South Wales to northeastern Victoria. The species grows in dry sclerophyll forest, woodland, and coastal heathland on a variety of substrates from sandy coastal soils to shallow clay soils on rocky outcrops. It reaches 12–25 meters in height and is characterized by persistent, hard, rough grey box-type bark covering the trunk and major branches, with smooth white to grey bark on the upper branches and smaller limbs. Cream-coloured flowers are produced in clusters that attract honeyeaters, lorikeets, and a range of insect pollinators. Eucalyptus quadrangulata is classified as Least Concern by the IUCN, being moderately widespread along the eastern Australian coast, though coastal development, land clearing, and altered fire management have reduced the extent and connectivity of its habitat in some areas. The hard timber has historically been used for fence posts, railway sleepers, and construction, valued for its durability and density. It provides important habitat for hollow-dependent fauna including possums, gliders, owls, and parrots in eastern Australian forest ecosystems.
