clavellina

The clove pink or feathered pink (Dianthus plumarius) is a perennial flowering plant in the family Caryophyllaceae, native to rocky limestone habitats in central and southeastern Europe. The species is named for the clove-like fragrance of its flowers — an aroma produced by eugenol compounds — and for the distinctive feathery or plumed appearance of its deeply fringed petals, referenced by the Latin epithet plumarius. Plants grow as low-spreading mats or cushions from four to thirty centimeters tall, producing glaucous grey-green linear leaves and flowers in shades of white, pink, or occasionally bicolored, typically in late spring to midsummer. D. plumarius inhabits dry, calcareous rocky outcrops, scree slopes, stony grasslands, and cliff ledges in its native range, showing a preference for well-drained alkaline soils in open, sunny exposures. It is among the original parents of garden carnations, having been cultivated and hybridized in European horticulture for over five hundred years, and remains widely grown as an ornamental plant for borders, rock gardens, and cottage garden settings. The species has naturalized in parts of Britain and western Europe outside its native range. Pollinators including butterflies, moths, and bumblebees visit the flowers for nectar. D. plumarius has not been formally evaluated under IUCN Red List criteria and is listed as Not Evaluated, though wild populations in its core range in central Europe are considered stable within suitable rocky limestone habitats.

Orca común

El mayor miembro de la familia de los delfínidos, la orca (Orcinus orca) puede alcanzar hasta 9 metros de longitud y 6 toneladas de peso, y se encuentra en todos los océanos desde el Ártico hasta el Antártico. Es un depredador apex que vive en grupos matrilineales con dialectos distintos, estrategias de caza y tradiciones culturales que difieren entre poblaciones. Algunas poblaciones se especializan en peces, otras en mamíferos marinos. Sin depredadores naturales, las orcas ocupan la cima de todas las cadenas tróficas marinas que habitan.
