Ceratium hirundinella es un dinoflagelado de agua dulce distintivo con una célula acorazada que lleva múltiples cuernos, dándole una silueta parecida a una golondrina. Habita lagos, estanques y masas de agua dulce de flujo lento en regiones templadas y subtropicales de todo el mundo. Este protista principalmente fotosintético puede formar floraciones densas en lagos eutrofizados durante los meses cálidos.
Lobo gris
El lobo gris (Canis lupus), el cánido silvestre más ampliamente distribuido, se extiende desde América del Norte a través de Eurasia en hábitats diversos que incluyen la tundra, bosques y praderas. Son animales altamente sociales que viven en manadas familiares lideradas por una pareja reproductora dominante. Como depredadores clave, los lobos regulan las poblaciones de presas y moldean profundamente la estructura del ecosistema, como demostró su reintroducción en Yellowstone. Antes muy perseguidos, las poblaciones se están recuperando en muchas regiones.
