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。

Trechispora microsporeはその名の通り非常に小さな胞子を産生する皮殻状菌である。温帯および亜寒帯林で腐朽広葉樹・針葉樹の丸太の下面に薄い白色〜クリーム色の被殻として生育する。この腐生菌は枯れた木質材料を分解し、森林生態系の栄養素循環に寄与する。
