Dictyota dichotomは、繰り返し二叉分岐する平らなオリーブ緑色から黄褐色の葉状体が広い扇形を形成する一般的な褐藻類である。世界の温帯から熱帯の海の潮間帯や浅い潮下帯の岩礁に生息する。この光合成大型藻類は付着根を介して岩に固着し、有性生殖と無性生殖の両方が可能である。

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。
