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。

Marasmius torquescens はMarasmiaceae科に属する小型の腐生ハラタケで軽度懸念種(LC)と評価される。乾燥後に水分を与えると蘇生できる丈夫で針金状の柄を持つ子実体を形成し、これはこの属の特徴的な形質である。林内環境の腐敗した落葉や木質残骸上に生育する。
