Distributed across Brazil, Norway, and Sweden.

Lobo gris

Habitat

Found across multiple habitat types including tropical and subtropical moist broadleaf forests, deserts and xeric shrublands, and tropical and subtropical dry broadleaf forests, among 13 distinct biome types. Populations are also found in montane and highland environments at higher elevations.

Range

Widely distributed across Africa (Seychelles), Asia (Japan), Europe (5 countries), North America (7 countries), Oceania and the Pacific (Marshall Islands, Vanuatu), and South America (5 countries). Currently classified as Critically Endangered on the IUCN Red List, this species faces significant conservation challenges across its range.

<em>Collaria arcyrionema</em> is a myxomycete — a plasmodial slime mould — belonging to the class Myxomycetes within the phylum Mycetozoa. Slime moulds of the genus Collaria are not true fungi but are instead classified within the group Amoebozoa, reflecting their distinctive biology that combines amoeba-like feeding behaviour with a complex, multi-stage life cycle. <em>Collaria arcyrionema</em> produces small, stalked sporangia — spore-bearing structures — that are characteristic of the genus, typically forming on decaying organic matter such as dead wood, leaf litter, and damp substrate in forested environments. The species has a reported distribution in Brazil, Norway, and Sweden, with occurrence noted across parts of Europe and South America. Like other myxomycetes, <em>Collaria arcyrionema</em> plays a role in nutrient cycling by consuming bacteria and organic detritus during its plasmodial phase. Detailed biological traits including typical lifespan measures and physical dimensions are poorly documented for this species in available literature.

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.
