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。

Coelosphaerium kuetzingianum is a colonial planktonic cyanobacterium in the family Merismopediaceae, named in honour of the nineteenth-century German phycologist Friedrich Traugott Kützing, who made foundational contributions to the study of algae and cyanobacteria. The species forms spherical to globular mucilaginous colonies with cells arranged near the periphery of a clear gelatinous matrix—the characteristic architecture of the genus. Individual cells are small, typically 2–5 micrometres in diameter, and possess gas vesicles that confer buoyancy regulation, enabling the organism to position itself advantageously in stratified water columns. Coelosphaerium kuetzingianum has been recorded from freshwater lakes, reservoirs, and ponds across temperate northern Europe, including Denmark, Norway, and Sweden, as well as from Taiwan, indicating a broad latitudinal tolerance. Its occurrence in both boreal and subtropical settings suggests morphological plasticity or the presence of distinct ecotypes within the species concept. As with other members of the genus, it participates in aquatic food webs as a primary producer and is consumed by filter-feeding zooplankton such as cladocerans and rotifers. Eutrophication resulting from agricultural nutrient loading can stimulate cyanobacterial growth in affected water bodies. No IUCN conservation assessment has been undertaken for this planktonic cyanobacterium.
