Green Sea Turtle

A tartaruga-verde (Chelonia mydas) é uma das maiores tartarugas marinhas. Seu nome vem da cor verde da cartilagem e gordura, não do casco.

Stemonaria pilosa e um mixomiceto (fungo mucilaginoso) que produz minusculos esporangios cobertos de pelos finos sobre material vegetal lenhoso em decomposicao em ambientes florestais. Assim como outros mixomicetos, passa por um estagio plasmodial amoeboide antes de formar estruturas reprodutivas. Este organismo desempenha um papel na ecologia das comunidades microbianas, alimentando-se de bacterias e esporos fungicos na serrapilheira e na madeira da floresta.
