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.

Lactarius flavidus es un hongo de laminillas del género de los níscalos con un sombrero amarillento pálido y látex blanco a amarillento que exuda al cortarlo. Crece en bosques mediterráneos y del sur de Europa, formando asociaciones ectomicorrícicas con robles y pinos. Este hongo intercambia nutrientes del suelo por azúcares fotosintéticos con sus árboles asociados.
