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.

Lyngbya semiplena es una cianobacteria filamentosa de la familia Oscillatoriaceae que forma tricomas gruesos y firmes encerrados en vainas distintas. Crece en entornos marinos, salobres y de agua dulce, formando frecuentemente tapetes bentónicos en zonas costeras poco profundas. Su estado de conservación no ha sido evaluado.
