大翅鯨

Habitat

Found across multiple habitat types including tropical and subtropical moist broadleaf forests, tropical and subtropical dry broadleaf forests, and tropical and subtropical grasslands and savannas, among 11 distinct biome types. Populations are also found in montane and highland environments at higher elevations.

Range

Widely distributed across Asia (Taiwan), Europe (5 countries), and South America (Colombia, Ecuador, Venezuela). Currently classified as Vulnerable on the IUCN Red List, this species faces significant conservation challenges across its range.

Common Antler Lichen

Habitat

Native to Europe and North America, inhabiting ecosystems characteristic of the region.

Range

Distributed across Norway and United States.

大翅鯨

座头鲸是大型鲸类中最具杂技表演性的物种之一，以繁殖季节雄性演唱的复杂而神秘的歌声著称，歌声有时持续数小时并随时间演变。体长可达16米，体重30吨，进行着哺乳动物中最长距离的洄游。分布于所有大洋，通过协作泡泡网捕食磷虾和小鱼。种群数量已从历史捕鲸后大体恢复。

Common Antler Lichen

<em>Pseudevernia consocians</em>, commonly known as Common Antler Lichen, is a foliose or fruticose lichen in the family Parmeliaceae. This species has not been formally evaluated by the IUCN and occurs in countries including Norway and the United States. As a lichen, Common Antler Lichen represents a symbiotic association between a fungal partner (mycobiont) and one or more photosynthetic partners (photobiont), typically green algae or cyanobacteria. It typically grows on the bark of trees or on rocky substrates in temperate and boreal environments, often in well-lit forest edges or open woodland habitats. The branching, antler-like thallus gives the species its evocative common name. Like many lichens, it is often sensitive to air quality and may serve as a bioindicator of environmental health, being negatively affected by elevated levels of nitrogen and sulfur dioxide pollution. Biological traits of this species remain poorly documented in the scientific literature.
