Hohojirozame

地球上で最大の捕食性魚類であるホホジロザメは、全世界の主要な大洋の冷涼な沿岸・外洋域に生息し、体長6メートル、体重2,000キログラムに達することがあります。海洋哺乳類、大型魚類、海鳥を主な獲物として下方からの待ち伏せ攻撃を行う最上位捕食者です。その恐ろしい評判にもかかわらず、人間への非挑発的な攻撃は極めてまれです。フカヒレ採取、混獲、目的的漁獲によって個体数が減少しており、多くの地域で法的保護を受けているにもかかわらず危急(VU)に分類されています。

Usnea cornutaはParmeliaceae科の果状地衣類で、準絶滅危惧(NT)と評価されています。樹木の枝や小枝に垂れ下がる茂み状の葉状体を形成し、主に湿潤な森林環境に生息します。すべてのUsnea属の種と同様に大気汚染、特に二酸化硫黄に対して非常に敏感で、大気質の有用な生物指標として利用されます。
