matria alta
<em>Comatricha ellae</em> is a plasmodial slime mold in the class Myxomycetes, order Stemonitidales, belonging to the diverse genus <em>Comatricha</em>. Members of this genus are characterized by their stalked sporangia with a persistent stalk and an elaborate internal capillitial network that aids in spore dispersal. <em>C. ellae</em> has been recorded from Europe and South America, growing on decomposing wood, bark, and other plant debris in moist forest environments. The feeding stage of the organism is a multinucleate plasmodium that migrates across substrates and engulfs microorganisms and organic particles. Upon maturation, the plasmodium aggregates and differentiates into sporangia that release airborne spores. As with other myxomycetes, the species lacks conventional biological traits such as body length or mass, and no quantitative metrics are available. It is not evaluated on the IUCN Red List.
Delfín tonina
La especie de delfín más estudiada y reconocida, los delfines mulares habitan océanos cálidos y templados de todo el mundo, desde las aguas costeras poco profundas hasta el mar abierto. Altamente inteligentes con grandes cerebros en relación con el tamaño corporal, demuestran autoreconocimiento, comunicación compleja y aprendizaje social. Viven en sociedades fluidas de fisión-fusión y cooperan para arrear peces. Una especie indicadora clave de la salud del ecosistema marino.
