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。

Peronospora ranunculi は Peronosporaceae 科の卵菌類露菌病病原体で、キンポウゲ属(Ranunculus)植物の絶対活物寄生体である。葉と茎を感染させ、上面に退緑性病斑、下面に特徴的な灰色の胞子形成を引き起こす。他の Peronospora 種と同様に、気流分散遊走子嚢胞子で拡散し、生きた宿主組織を必要とする。
