Range

Widely distributed across Africa (Seychelles), Asia (Japan), Europe (5 countries), North America (7 countries), Oceania and the Pacific (Marshall Islands, Vanuatu), and South America (5 countries). Currently classified as Critically Endangered on the IUCN Red List, this species faces significant conservation challenges across its range.

<em>Comatricha longipila</em> is a myxomycete in the order Stemonitidales, class Myxomycetes, belonging to the species-rich genus <em>Comatricha</em>. The species name reflects a taxonomic characteristic used in its identification, as capillitial and spore features are the primary diagnostic traits for distinguishing species within this genus. <em>C. longipila</em> inhabits decaying woody substrates and moist organic debris in forested and shaded environments. It passes through a conspicuous plasmodial stage in which a macroscopic, multinucleate mass of cytoplasm moves across and through substrates in search of bacterial and fungal food sources. The species subsequently forms fruiting bodies that release spores for aerial dispersal. Like all myxomycetes, this organism does not possess conventional physical traits such as body length or mass, and no quantitative biological data are recorded for this species. It has not been assessed by the IUCN.

가장 넓은 분포 범위를 가진 야생 갯과 동물인 회색늑대는 북아메리카에서 유라시아에 걸쳐 툰드라, 숲, 초원 등 다양한 서식지에 분포합니다. 우세한 번식 쌍이 이끄는 가족 단위 무리를 이루어 생활하는 고도로 사회적인 동물입니다. 최상위 포식자로서 먹이 개체군을 조절하고 생태계 구조를 근본적으로 형성하는데, 옐로스톤에서의 재도입 사례가 이를 잘 보여줍니다. 한때 심각하게 박해받았으나 많은 지역에서 개체군이 회복 중입니다.
