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.
Nitrosotalea is a genus of ammonia-oxidizing archaea in the phylum Thaumarchaeota, distinguished by their ability to perform nitrification under acidic conditions where most other nitrifying microorganisms cannot survive. Species within this genus have been detected in acidic soils worldwide, suggesting a significant but underappreciated role in nitrogen cycling in low-pH habitats. The genus was established following the cultivation of the type species from agricultural soil.
