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。

Ochrolechia subviridisは、海洋性および山岳性生息地の珪酸岩と樹皮に厚みのある緑灰色から白色の斑点を形成する殻状地衣類である。淡く粉霜状の表面を持つ円盤状の子実体を生産し、ウスニン酸化合物を含有する。脆弱な状況は、限られた分布域における生息地変化と大気汚染への感受性を反映している。
