バエオミセス・プラコフィルス(Baeomyces placophyllus)は酸性裸地・荒れ地・ヒース・高山帯の開けた環境の鉱質土壌に生育する痂状地衣類で、厚みのある鱗片状の葉状体から分岐しない柄上に淡い肉色の子嚢盤を形成する特徴的な形態を持つ。ヨーロッパ温帯〜亜寒帯地域の分布域は土壌安定化・草地改良による生育地の消失で脅威を受けており、絶滅危惧(EN)に分類される。裸地開拓者(パイオニア)としての生態的役割を持ちながら、現在は保護が必要な希少種となっている。
Cheetah
地球上で最も速い陸上動物で、アフリカとイランの草原において短距離走で時速112kmに達する。深い胸部、長い脚、独特の黒い涙縞模様を持つ細身の体型が特徴だ。他の大型ネコ科動物とは異なり、チーターはチャープ音やパー音で鳴く。生息地の分断と大型捕食者との競争により、残存個体数は約7,000頭のみとなっており、危急種に分類されている。
