Fuscopannaria mediterranea は地中海および亜地中海の樹皮・苔・土壌に暗褐灰色の葉状体を形成する小型の葉状〜鱗状地衣類である。南ヨーロッパと隣接地域の湿潤林やマキア生態系に分布し、生息地の劣化・過放牧・土地利用変化による圧力を受け準絶滅危惧と評価されている。
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。
