Habitat & Geographic Range

白头海雕

Habitat

Found across multiple habitat types including tropical and subtropical moist broadleaf forests, tropical and subtropical dry broadleaf forests, and flooded grasslands and savannas, among 10 distinct biome types spanning the Neotropic and Palearctic realms. Populations are also found in montane and highland environments at higher elevations.

Range

Widely distributed across Europe (8 countries), North America (United States), and South America (Ecuador).

Common Aloe-moss

Habitat

Inhabits temperate broadleaf and mixed forests and Mediterranean forests and woodlands within the Palearctic biogeographic realm. Populations are also found in montane and highland environments at higher elevations.

Range

Found across Europe (6 countries). Currently classified as Critically Endangered on the IUCN Red List, this species faces significant conservation challenges across its range.

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。

Common Aloe-moss

<em>Aloina aloides</em>, commonly known as Common Aloe Moss, is a small moss in the family Pottiaceae. This species is classified as Critically Endangered on the IUCN Red List, representing a severe conservation concern with populations recorded across several European countries including Belgium, France, Germany, the Netherlands, and the United Kingdom. Common Aloe Moss typically inhabits open, disturbed, or sparsely vegetated ground in temperate and Mediterranean forest zones, often colonizing bare calcareous soils, chalk banks, old walls, and arable field margins. It forms small cushions or turfs of erect, spoon-shaped leaves that are distinctive for their inrolled margins and papillose surface. This moss is particularly associated with traditional low-intensity agricultural landscapes where bare ground is regularly created, and its dramatic decline is closely linked to the intensification of farming practices and the loss of suitable open, calcareous habitats across Europe. Biological traits of this species remain poorly documented in the scientific literature.
