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.
Nitzschia flexa es una diatomea penada (clase Bacillariophyceae) con un sistema de rafe caracteristicamente curvado o doblado que confiere al genero su aspecto distintivo. Habita entornos de agua dulce a salobre y contribuye a las comunidades algales bentonicas y planctonicas. Como microalga fotosintetica, desempena un papel fundamental en las redes troficias acuaticas y la produccion primaria.
