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.

Dunkelstreifiger Scheidling

Volvariella volvacea, the paddy straw mushroom, is a medium-sized mushroom with a distinctive volva at the base, grey-brown cap, and pink gills arising from free cultivation in tropical Asia for millennia. It grows on rice straw, compost, and decaying plant matter in tropical and subtropical regions of Southeast and East Asia. This saprotrophic fungus decomposes agricultural residues, particularly rice straw, and is widely cultivated as a food mushroom.
