common bottlenose dolphin

A espécie de golfinho mais estudada e reconhecida, os roazes habitam oceanos quentes e temperados de todo o mundo, desde águas costeiras rasas até ao mar aberto. Altamente inteligentes com grandes cérebros em relação ao tamanho corporal, demonstram auto-reconhecimento, comunicação complexa e aprendizagem social. Vivem em sociedades fluidas de fissão-fusão e cooperam para arrebanhar peixes. Uma espécie indicadora chave da saúde dos ecossistemas marinhos.

Lecanographa lyncea é um líquen crustoso raro que cresce sobre a casca de árvores antigas e veteranas em florestas antigas. Produz apotécios lirelados alongados e é considerado um dos indicadores mais sensíveis de ecossistemas florestais não perturbados de longa continuidade na Europa. Criticamente Ameaçado, enfrenta grave ameaça por perda de habitat, declínio de árvores veteranas e poluição do ar.
