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。

Leptosporomyces septentrionalisは、北方の生息地の腐朽木上に薄い白色〜クリーム色の皮を形成する皮質担子菌類です。スカンジナビアおよび関連する寒冷林帯の北方林や北部温帯林に生息します。この腐生菌は北方森林生態系において倒木や枝を分解します。
