Cat
人類が最も成功した家畜の一つであるイエネコは、約1万年前に近東のヤマネコ(Felis silvestris lybica)から家畜化された小型で敏捷な肉食動物だ。70を超える公認品種が存在し、ネコは強い捕食本能を維持したまま地球上のほぼすべての陸地環境に分布している。世界で最も人気のあるペットで、世界中で約6億匹が飼育されていると推定される。
Fly Agaric
ベニテングタケ(Amanita muscaria)は地球上で最も象徴的で広く知られる菌類であり、北半球の北方林全域に白いいぼのある鮮やかな赤い傘を広げる。童話のような外見とは裏腹に、ムシモールやイボテン酸などの強力な向精神性化合物を含み、中程度の毒性がある。シラカバ、マツ、トウヒと重要な外生菌根共生関係を形成し、無機栄養素と炭素を交換することで北方林の栄養循環に不可欠な役割を担っている。
