The most studied and recognized dolphin species, bottlenose dolphins inhabit warm and temperate oceans worldwide, from coastal shallows to the open sea. Highly intelligent with large brains relative to body size, they demonstrate self-recognition, complex communication, and social learning. They live in fluid fission-fusion societies and cooperate to herd fish. A keystone indicator species for marine ecosystem health.

Erysiphe symphoricarpi is a powdery mildew fungus that parasitizes snowberry (Symphoricarpos) shrubs, forming characteristic white, powdery colonies of hyphae and conidia on the surfaces of leaves and stems. It is distributed across temperate regions in North America and Europe where its host plants occur. This obligate pathogen can cause aesthetic damage to ornamental snowberry plantings.
