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.

Ramalina canariensis es un liquen fruticoso con lobulos planos de color gris-verdoso palido encontrado en habitats costeros e insulares. Habita en bosques de laurel humedos y zonas de niebla costera de las Islas Canarias y el archipielago macaronesico. Este liquen obtiene energia a traves de su componente algal fotosintético y es sensible a los cambios de habitat por deforestacion y variaciones climaticas.
