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。

Phaeophyscia endophoenicea は Physciaceae 科の葉状地衣類で、最も懸念が少ない(LC)と評価されている。樹皮や岩石表面に小さなロゼットを形成し、適度に栄養が豊富な生息地に見られることが多い。同属の他の種と同様に、茶色の上部皮層と明るい色の下面を持つ。
