Oso Polar
El mayor carnivoro terrestre de la Tierra, el oso polar puede superar los 700 kg y se encuentra en el hielo marino del Artico, desde Canada hasta Rusia. Es un mamifero marino altamente especializado que depende del hielo marino para cazar focas anilladas y barbadas. Excelente nadador capaz de cubrir grandes distancias en agua abierta. Clasificado como Vulnerable, sus poblaciones soportan una presion severa por la rapida perdida de hielo marino artico debida al cambio climatico.
Rhizobium laguerreae es una alfaproteobacteria fijadora de nitrogeno de la familia Rhizobiaceae capaz de formar nodulos radicales simbolicos en diversas especies de leguminosas. Fija nitrogeno atmosferico a cambio de carbono organico suministrado por la planta hospedadora, contribuyendo a la fertilidad del suelo y reduciendo la necesidad de fertilizantes nitrogenados sinteticos. La especie fue nombrada en honor a la microbiologa Dra. Laguerre.
