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.

Paraphysomonas butcheri es un crisofito biflagelado con escamas de sílice que porta escamas con espinas en la superficie celular. Habita en lagos de agua dulce, estanques y entornos planctónicos marinos de regiones templadas y frías. Este protisto fagotrófico pasta activamente sobre bacterias en las redes alimentarias microbianas de los ambientes acuáticos.
