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.

Ochrolechia pallescens es un liquen crustoso de la familia Ochrolechiaceae, evaluado como En Peligro (EN). Crece sobre la corteza de arboles viejos y se considera un indicador de bosques antiguos con larga continuidad ecologica. Su estado de peligro refleja un severo declive debido a la perdida de arboles viejos y veteranos en toda su area de distribucion.
