コウテイペンギン

世界最大のペンギンであるコウテイペンギン(Aptenodytes forsteri)は体高最大1.2m、体重45kgで、地球上で最も過酷な環境の一つである南極大陸に生息しています。零下60°C以下の真冬の暗闇の中で繁殖し、雌が海上にいる間、雄が65日間足の上で育雛嚢の下に一つの卵を温め続けます。数千羽からなる群れで個体が暖かい中心部を循環するいわゆるハドリング行動は、協調的な生存戦略の傑作です。

Thelopsis flaveola は老齢落葉樹の樹皮に小さな埋没型子嚢殻を形成する黄色の固着地衣類である。温帯および山地ヨーロッパ林の老齢落葉樹が生育する湿った日陰の林内生息地に分布する。安定した微気候条件を必要とし、生息地の撹乱に敏感である。
