Green Sea Turtle

La tortuga verde (Chelonia mydas) es una de las tortugas marinas más grandes. Su nombre proviene del color verde de su cartílago y grasa, no del caparazón.

Microcalicium ahlneri es un liquen diminuto con talo gris palido y minusculos apotecios pediculados, caracteristicos de los hongos calicioides. Crece sobre la corteza de viejos arboles caducifolios en bosques templados no perturbados de Europa. Este liquen necesita condiciones de bosque antiguo y es sensible a los cambios en el microhabitat de la corteza provocados por la contaminacion atmosferica o la gestion forestal.
