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。

Vibrio choleraeはコンマ形で高い運動性を持つグラム陰性の水生細菌で、ヒトにおける汎世界的コレラの病原体です。沿岸河口域、河川デルタ、暖かい海洋環境に生息し、プランクトン特にカイアシ類と関連することが多いです。汚染された水や食品を通じて拡散し、重篤な水様性下痢を引き起こして公衆衛生に大きな影響を与えます。
