gray wolf

Habitat

Found across multiple habitat types including tropical and subtropical moist broadleaf forests, deserts and xeric shrublands, and tropical and subtropical dry broadleaf forests, among 13 distinct biome types. Populations are also found in montane and highland environments at higher elevations.

Range

Widely distributed across Africa (Seychelles), Asia (Japan), Europe (5 countries), North America (7 countries), Oceania and the Pacific (Marshall Islands, Vanuatu), and South America (5 countries). Currently classified as Critically Endangered on the IUCN Red List, this species faces significant conservation challenges across its range.

Clitocybe augeana is a saprotrophic agaric fungus in the family Tricholomataceae native to Northern European forests and grasslands, with principal records from Scandinavia. It produces modest fruiting bodies with the genus-typical depressed to funnel-shaped cap, whitish to pale greyish coloration, and decurrent gills running down the stipe. Like many Clitocybe species, it emerges during autumn in habitats ranging from deciduous and mixed woodland floors to grassy clearings and forest margins, where it decomposes accumulated leaf litter and organic matter. The taxonomy of smaller, pale Clitocybe species has undergone considerable revision through molecular phylogenetic studies, with several species previously grouped together now recognized as distinct entities based on spore morphology, habitat preferences, and DNA sequence data. C. augeana contributes to the rich diversity of macrofungi documented in Scandinavian boreal and nemoral forests, ecosystems recognized for their exceptional fungal species richness and ecological importance in nutrient cycling processes.

gray wolf

最も広い分布域を持つ野生のイヌ科動物であるハイイロオオカミは、北アメリカからユーラシアにかけてのツンドラ、森林、草原などの多様な生息地に分布します。優位な繁殖ペアに率いられた家族単位の群れで生活する高度に社会的な動物です。キーストーン捕食者として獲物個体群を調整し、生態系の構造を根本的に形成することは、イエローストーンでの再導入により実証されています。かつて激しく迫害されましたが、多くの地域で個体群は回復しつつあります。
