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 Rootstock Spiderhead

Habitat

Typically found in diverse terrestrial habitats from tropical forests to temperate regions.

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 Rootstock Spiderhead

<em>Serruria acrocarpa</em>, the common rootstock spiderhead, is a flowering shrub in the family Proteaceae, order Proteales. It is assessed as Least Concern on the IUCN Red List. The genus Serruria is endemic to the Cape Floristic Region of South Africa, one of the world's six major floral kingdoms and a globally recognized biodiversity hotspot. Common rootstock spiderhead typically grows in fynbos shrubland — the fire-adapted, species-rich shrubland vegetation characteristic of the southwestern and southern Cape — on well-drained, nutrient-poor sandstone-derived soils. Like other Proteaceae, <em>Serruria acrocarpa</em> is adapted to nutrient-poor soils through specialized cluster roots that enhance phosphorus uptake. The genus Serruria is known for its finely divided, needle-like leaves and clustered flower heads that attract sunbirds and insects as pollinators. Many Proteaceae in the Cape Floristic Region are serotinous, holding seeds in woody cones that open following fire events. Biological traits such as lifespan, body measurements, and detailed reproductive ecology remain poorly documented for this taxon in published quantitative studies. The species faces ongoing pressure from habitat loss, invasive alien plants, and altered fire regimes in the Cape Floristic Region.
