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.

Sphacelaria tribuloides es un alga parda pequena y en mechones que forma colonias compactas en sustratos rocosos y sobre algas de mayor tamano. Habita zonas rocosas intermareales y submareales poco profundas en mares templados y tropicales de todo el mundo. Este alga fotosintizadora se reproduce mediante caracteristicos propulos en forma de estrella y coloniza superficies rocosas marinas.
