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。

Lecanographa lynceaは、原生林の古い老齢木の樹皮上に生育する希少な固着地衣類です。細長い線形子嚢盤を形成し、ヨーロッパにおいて未撹乱の長期継続性森林生態系を示す最も敏感な指標種の一つとされています。絶滅寸前（CR）に分類され、生息地の喪失、老齢木の衰退、大気汚染により深刻な脅威にさらされています。
