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).

Concealed Conebush

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。

Concealed Conebush

<em>Leucadendron cryptocephalum</em>, commonly known as the Concealed Conebush, is a flowering shrub in the family Proteaceae, endemic to the Cape Floristic Region of South Africa—one of the world's most botanically diverse and threatened biodiversity hotspots. The genus Leucadendron comprises dioecious woody plants in which male and female flowers are borne on separate individuals, with females typically developing cone-like seed heads adapted for serotiny or animal-aided dispersal. <em>Leucadendron cryptocephalum</em> typically grows in fynbos shrubland, a fire-adapted Mediterranean-climate biome restricted to the Western Cape and Eastern Cape provinces of South Africa, where it occupies specific edaphic niches on well-drained, nutrient-poor soils. The species is currently classified as Endangered by the IUCN, reflecting severe habitat loss driven by agricultural expansion, urban development, invasive alien plant encroachment, and altered fire regimes that disrupt the natural regeneration cycle of fynbos vegetation. As a Proteaceae member, it plays a role in fynbos food webs by providing nectar for specialist sunbirds and insects. Population size and trend data remain limited, but ongoing habitat transformation in the Cape Floristic Region continues to threaten its long-term survival.
