toxo

<em>Ulex europaeus</em>, commonly known as common gorse, is a spiny evergreen shrub belonging to the genus Ulex within the legume family Fabaceae. The species occupies a remarkable breadth of habitat types, including tropical and subtropical moist broadleaf forests, dry broadleaf forests, and deserts and xeric shrublands, among at least eight recognized biome categories. Its global range is exceptionally wide, spanning Africa, Asia, Europe, North America, Oceania, and South America, with records from numerous countries on each continent. Notably introduced and sometimes invasive outside its European origin, common gorse typically colonizes disturbed lands, heathlands, and coastal scrub. The species is assessed as Least Concern on the IUCN Red List. Biological traits of this species remain poorly documented in the scientific 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.
