Polar bear

地球上で最大の陸上肉食動物であるホッキョクグマは700kgを超えることがあり、カナダからロシアまでの北極海氷域全体に分布する。ワモンアザラシとヒゲアザラシを狩るために海氷に依存する高度に特化した海洋哺乳類である。広大な距離を泳ぐことができる優れた泳者でもある。脆弱種に指定されており、気候変動による急激な北極海氷の消失で個体群が深刻な圧力を受けている。

Thelopsis flaveola は老齢落葉樹の樹皮に小さな埋没型子嚢殻を形成する黄色の固着地衣類である。温帯および山地ヨーロッパ林の老齢落葉樹が生育する湿った日陰の林内生息地に分布する。安定した微気候条件を必要とし、生息地の撹乱に敏感である。
