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 Mahoe

Melicytus novae-zelandiae, the coastal mahoe, is a shrub or small tree in the family Violaceae native to New Zealand, where it occurs along the coastlines of both the North and South Islands, extending to some offshore islands. The mahoes are a characteristic group of small trees and shrubs in the New Zealand flora, and M. novae-zelandiae is distinguished as the coastal ecotype of this group, tolerating salt spray, coastal winds, and the harsh conditions of maritime scrub and coastal forest margins. The species typically reaches 2–6 meters in height and produces small, yellowish-green flowers followed by fleshy purple to black fruits that are eaten by native birds including silvereyes, bellbirds, and tuis that disperse seeds through coastal scrub. Coastal mahoe provides important food and shelter resources in coastal bird habitats. Like other New Zealand violets in Melicytus, the plants are dioecious, with separate male and female individuals. The species is classified as Least Concern by the IUCN, being a naturally common component of coastal New Zealand vegetation and capable of persisting in modified coastal habitats including regenerating scrub and planted gardens. It is used in coastal revegetation and gardening for its wind and salt spray tolerance.
