Panda Gigante
El panda gigante (Ailuropoda melanoleuca) es un animal emblemático de China, célebre por su pelaje blanco y negro y su dieta basada casi exclusivamente en bambú. Su estado de conservación es vulnerable (VU), es el animal bandera de la conservación internacional de la vida silvestre, y su población ha experimentado cierta recuperación en los últimos años.
Gomphonema paludosum es una diatomea de agua dulce de la familia Gomphonemataceae, caracterizada por su frústula asimétrica en forma de cuña unida a sustratos mediante un pedúnculo mucilaginoso. Habita aguas poco profundas y estancadas, marismas y hábitats pantanosos donde crece sobre superficies de sedimento, tallos de plantas y detritos sumergidos. Como diatomea bentónica, es útil como bioindicador de la química del agua y el enriquecimiento orgánico.
