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。

Microcalicium ahlneri は淡灰色の葉状体と calicioid 菌類に特徴的な有柄の小さな子器を持つ、小型ピン頭地衣類です。ヨーロッパの攪乱されていない温帯林の古い落葉樹の樹皮上に生育します。この地衣類は老齢林の条件を必要とし、大気汚染や森林管理による樹皮微小生息地の変化に敏感です。
