Kurt

The most widely distributed wild canid, gray wolves range from North America across Eurasia in diverse habitats including tundra, forests, and grasslands. Highly social animals living in family packs led by a dominant breeding pair. As keystone predators, wolves regulate prey populations and profoundly shape ecosystem structure, as demonstrated by their reintroduction in Yellowstone. Once heavily persecuted, populations are recovering in many regions.

Stemonaria pilosa is a myxomycete (slime mould) producing minute sporangia covered with fine hairs on decaying woody plant material in forested environments. Like other myxomycetes, it passes through an amoeboid plasmodial stage before forming reproductive structures. This organism plays a role in microbial community ecology, feeding on bacteria and fungal spores in forest litter and wood.
