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.
Nitrosopelagicus brevis is a small, aerobic ammonia-oxidizing thaumarchaeon belonging to the abundant marine archaeal group Nitrososphaeria. It inhabits the open ocean, particularly the nutrient-poor photic zone of tropical and subtropical oceanic gyres. This chemolithoautotrophic organism oxidizes ammonia to nitrite and plays a fundamental role in marine nitrogen cycling.
