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。

Xenasma rimicolaはXenasmataceae科に属する皮膜菌類で危急（VU）と評価されています。成熟または原生林生息地の腐朽木材に薄い伏生状地殻として生育します。危急の状態は枯れ木の除去や未撹乱の森林生態系への攪乱に対する感受性を反映しています。
