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。

Lentinus substrictusは、熱帯・亜熱帯の樹木の枯木や腐朽木に発生する、漏斗状から扁平なかさに垂生ひだを持つ革質の硬いキノコです。白色腐朽を引き起こし、温暖湿潤な森林生態系の木材分解に貢献します。バイオレメディエーション研究への応用可能なリグニン分解酵素の生産で注目されています。
