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。

Trapeliopsis glaucolepideaは土壌と岩石基質に灰青色の顆粒状葉状体のパッチを形成する固着地衣類である。温帯および亜寒帯ヨーロッパ環境の露出した鉱物土壌・砂礫荒原・撹乱地に生息する。酸性裸地に定着し、初期遷移的な土壌安定化に寄与する。
