Epaulard

イルカ科で最大の種であるシャチ(Orcinus orca)は体長最大9メートル、体重6トンに達し、北極から南極まですべての海洋に生息しています。独特の方言、狩猟戦略、集団間で異なる文化的伝統を持つ母系ポッドで生活する頂点捕食者です。一部の集団は魚類を、他の集団は海洋哺乳類を専門に捕食します。天敵はなく、シャチは生息するすべての海洋食物連鎖の頂点に位置します。

Gomphonema paludosumは、Gomphonemataceae科に属する淡水珪藻で、粘液性の柄で基質に付着する非対称の楔形の殻を特徴とする。堆積物表面、植物の茎、水没した残骸で生育する浅い止水、湿原、湿地の生息地に分布する。底生珪藻として、水質化学と有機物汚染の有用な生物指標となる。
