jaguar

アメリカ大陸最大のネコ科動物で、体重は最大100kgに達し、がっしりとした筋肉質の体型と特有のロゼット模様の毛皮を持つ。メキシコから南アメリカにかけて分布し、アマゾンやパンタナルが主要生息地となる。優れた水泳能力を持つ頂点捕食者であり、獲物個体数の調節に重要な役割を担う。森林破壊により生息域が縮小し、準絶滅危惧に分類されている。

Peniophorella echinocystis は絶滅危惧IA類(CR)と評価された皮質性菌類で、極めて稀少で分布域が非常に限定されている。成熟した老齢林や古代林の枯れ木に薄い伏生の皮膜を形成する。この絶滅寸前の状況は、立ち枯れや倒木のある老齢林の緊急な保全の必要性を強調している。
