Epaulard
The largest member of the dolphin family, orcas reach up to 9 meters and 6 tonnes and are found in every ocean from Arctic to Antarctic. Apex predators living in matrilineal pods with distinct dialects, hunting strategies, and cultural traditions that differ between populations. Some populations specialize in fish, others in marine mammals. No natural predators; orcas sit at the top of every marine food chain they inhabit.
Hyaloperonospora berteroae is a host-specific downy mildew oomycete in the family Peronosporaceae that parasitizes Berteroa species, small white-flowered plants in the mustard family (Brassicaceae). It forms colorless sporangiophores that emerge from stomata to produce spores, causing pale patches on infected leaves. Like other downy mildew pathogens, it is an obligate biotroph that cannot survive without a living host.
