Dheeb
The most widely distributed wild canid, gray wolves range from North America across Eurasia in diverse habitats including tundra, forests, and grasslands. Highly social animals living in family packs led by a dominant breeding pair. As keystone predators, wolves regulate prey populations and profoundly shape ecosystem structure, as demonstrated by their reintroduction in Yellowstone. Once heavily persecuted, populations are recovering in many regions.
Sporosarcina soli is a Gram-positive, endospore-forming bacterium found in soil environments, as its species epithet suggests. Cells are characteristically coccoid and may form packet-like arrangements. It is a chemoheterotroph that decomposes organic matter in terrestrial soils across various geographic regions.
