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.
Stemonaria pilosa es un mixomiceto (moho mucilaginoso) que produce diminutos esporangios cubiertos de finos pelos sobre material vegetal lenosoen descomposicion en entornos forestales. Al igual que otros mixomicetos, pasa por una fase plasmodial ameboide antes de formar estructuras reproductoras. Este organismo desempena un papel en la ecologia de las comunidades microbianas, alimentandose de bacterias y esporas fungicas en la hojarasca y la madera del bosque.
