Habitat & Geographic Range
白头海雕
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.
Widely distributed across Europe (8 countries), North America (United States), and South America (Ecuador).
Common Tiger Beetle
Typically found in virtually all terrestrial and freshwater habitats.
Distributed across Belgium, Denmark, Norway, and Sweden. Listed as Near Threatened, this species requires ongoing monitoring to prevent population decline.
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 Tiger Beetle
<em>Cicindela campestris</em>, the common green tiger beetle, is a predatory beetle in the family Cicindelidae, recorded from Belgium, Denmark, Norway, and Sweden. It is classified as Near Threatened on the IUCN Red List, reflecting population declines linked to habitat loss, particularly the loss of open sandy heathlands, coastal dunes, and dry grasslands across its European range. This beetle is one of the fastest-running terrestrial insects and is an active, visual predator that pursues invertebrate prey with speed and agility. It is characterized by vivid metallic green elytra spotted with cream or white, providing camouflage against sandy substrates. Adults are typically 12–15 millimeters long and are found on bare, sun-exposed sandy ground. Larvae are ambush predators living in vertical burrows in sandy soil, capturing passing insects. The species requires warm, sparsely vegetated sandy habitats that are increasingly rare due to land-use change, scrub encroachment, and development. Conservation of heathland and dune habitats is critical for maintaining viable populations of this Near Threatened species.
