Clavaria amoenoides is a club fungus in the family Clavariaceae, assessed as Vulnerable (VU). It produces erect, simple or sparingly branched fruiting bodies in unfertilised grasslands, a habitat that has declined dramatically due to agricultural intensification. Its vulnerable status underscores the importance of traditional grassland management for fungal diversity.

Grosse Tümmler, Grosstümmler

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.
