Coregonus
''Coregonus'' is a diverse genus of fish in the salmon family (Salmonidae). The ''Coregonus'' species are known as whitefishes. The genus contains at least 68 described extant taxa, but the true number of species is a matter of debate. The type species of the genus is '' Coregonus lavaretus''. Most ''Coregonus'' species inhabit lakes and rivers, and several species, including the Arctic cisco (''C. autumnalis''), the Bering cisco (''C. laurettae''), and the least cisco (''C. sardinella'') are anadromous, moving between salt water and fresh water. Many whitefish species or ecotypes, especially from the Great Lakes and the Alpine lakes of Europe, have gone extinct over the past century or are endangered. Among 12 freshwater fish considered extinct in Europe, 6 are ''Coregonus''. All ''Coregonus'' species are protected under appendix III of the Bern Convention,Council of Europe, 1979.

Name The name of the genus ''Thymallus'' first given to grayling (''T. thymallus'') described in the 1758 edition of ''Systema Naturae'' by Swedish zoologist Carl Linnaeus originates from the faint smell of the herb thyme, which emanates from the flesh. ''Thymallus'' derives from the Greek θύμαλλος, "thyme smell". Species According to FishBase, 14 species are placed in this genus. However, views differ on their taxonomic rank. * '' Thymallus arcticus'' ( Pallas, 1776) - Arctic grayling * '' Thymallus baicalensis'' Dybowski, 1874 - Baikal black grayling * '' Thymallus brevipinnis'' Svetovid ...

Larches are among the dominant plants in the boreal forests of Siberia and Canada. Although they are conifers, larches are deciduous trees that lose their needles in the autumn. Description and distribution The tallest species, '' Larix occidentalis'', can reach . Larch tree crowns are sparse, with the major branches horizontal; the second and third order branchlets are also ± horizontal in some species (e.g. '' L. gmelinii'', '' L. kaempferi''), or characteristically pendulous in some other species (e.g. '' L. decidua'', '' L. griffithii'').
