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。

Compact Prairie-clover

<em>Dalea compacta</em>, compact prairie clover, is a perennial leguminous herb in the family Fabaceae native to the central grasslands and prairies of North America. It is one of numerous prairie clover species in the genus Dalea, a diverse New World genus comprising over 160 species distributed from Canada to Argentina. Compact prairie clover grows typically in dry to mesic grasslands, rocky prairies, and open hillsides, often on calcareous or sandy soils with good drainage. It typically forms compact, low-growing mounds of pinnate leaves bearing small, purple to rose-coloured flowers arranged in dense cylindrical spikes that are highly attractive to native bees and other pollinators. As a legume, it fixes atmospheric nitrogen through root nodule symbiosis with Rhizobium bacteria, contributing to soil fertility in grassland ecosystems. The species is classified as Least Concern by the IUCN, indicating a stable population without significant current threats across its native range. It is adapted to periodic fire regimes that characterise native prairie ecosystems and can resprout vigorously following fire. Compact prairie clover is valued in native plant horticulture and prairie restoration projects for its drought tolerance, wildlife value, and soil-improving properties. Biological traits including average lifespan, precise body measurements, and population trend data remain poorly documented in the formal literature.
