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。

Puccinia polygoni-amphibiiはミズタデ(Persicaria amphibia)および関連植物に寄生するさび病菌(プッキニア目)である。葉と茎に橙褐色の夏胞子堆を形成し、湿地や河畔生息地の宿主植物でライフサイクルを完結させる。保全状況は評価されていない。
