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.
Weisses Stengelbecherchen
Hymenoscyphus albidus is a small, white cup fungus in the family Helotiaceae, closely related to the highly invasive ash dieback pathogen H. fraxineus. It forms tiny, stalked apothecia on fallen ash leaf petioles in European forests and is now considered a rare native species displaced by the introduced pathogen. Assessed as Data Deficient, its current population status across Europe is uncertain due to confusion with the pathogenic relative.
