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.
Thiothrix annulata es una gammaproteobacteria filamentosa oxidadora de azufre de la familia Thiotrichaceae, que forma tricomas con vainas adheridas a sustratos en ambientes acuaticos ricos en sulfuro. Oxida compuestos de azufre reducido como fuente de energia y almacena granulos de azufre elemental dentro de sus celulas, dando a las colonias una apariencia blanquecina. Habita manantiales sulfurosos, sistemas de alcantarillado y arroyos de agua dulce con niveles elevados de sulfuro.
