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 Wrinkle-Leaved Goldenrod

<em>Solidago rugosa</em>, the wrinkleleaf goldenrod or common wrinkle-leaved goldenrod, is a perennial herbaceous plant in the family Asteraceae. It is native to eastern North America, distributed from Newfoundland and Quebec south through the eastern United States to Florida and Texas, where it grows in a variety of moist to wet habitats including streambanks, floodplain forests, wet meadows, bogs, and disturbed areas. The species is easily recognized by its distinctive wrinkled or rugose leaf surface, which gives the plant its common and scientific names. Stems typically reach 60–200 cm in height and bear arching, one-sided clusters of small yellow flower heads that bloom from August through October, providing late-season nectar for pollinators. Biological traits such as precise average lifespan and detailed morphological measurements remain poorly documented at the population level. <em>Solidago rugosa</em> is a vigorous colonizer of disturbed and semi-natural habitats and is sometimes considered aggressive in managed landscapes. It plays an important role in supporting native bees, beetles, and butterflies. The species has not been formally evaluated for conservation status by the IUCN and is considered broadly common across its native range.
