common bottlenose dolphin

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.

Steccherinum lacerum is a tooth fungus in the family Polyporaceae, assessed as Near Threatened (NT). It grows on dead wood of broadleaf trees, producing resupinate or semi-resupinate fruiting bodies with small, spine-like teeth. Its near-threatened status reflects sensitivity to the loss of large, fallen deadwood in managed forests.
