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 brighteyes

Common brighteyes (<em>Reichardia picroides</em>) is a perennial herb species found in Portugal, Sweden, and the United States, typically inhabiting diverse terrestrial environments across its range. As a member of the family Asteraceae, this species often produces yellow dandelion-like flowerheads and is commonly found in open, dry, and disturbed habitats such as roadsides, waste ground, and coastal areas. The common brighteyes has not been formally evaluated on the IUCN Red List. Originally native to the Mediterranean basin and parts of the Middle East, the species has spread to numerous other regions where it is considered naturalized. It typically grows in well-drained soils in full sunlight, showing a preference for rocky or sandy substrates in coastal and inland locations. The species is often associated with ruderal habitats and represents an adaptable pioneer in disturbed ecosystems. Biological traits of this species remain poorly documented in the scientific literature.
