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。

Surirella biseriataはバルブの両側に沿って二列のフィビュラが独特のパターンを形成する大型の舟形淡水珪藻です。温帯地域の清澄から中程度に富栄養化した淡水湖や河川の底生帯に生息します。この光合成珪藻は底生藻類群集と有機物生産に貢献しています。
