Achlya bisexualisはサプロレグニア科に属する卵菌の一種で、淡水生息地の有機物を分解するほか、条件によっては魚類や無脊椎動物の病原体となることもある。フェロモンを介した有性生殖系は下等真核生物のステロイドホルモンシグナル伝達のモデルとして広く研究されてきた。菌糸コロニーは流れの緩い水域の死昆虫や植物残渣に素早く定着する。

Cheetah

地球上で最も速い陸上動物で、アフリカとイランの草原において短距離走で時速112kmに達する。深い胸部、長い脚、独特の黒い涙縞模様を持つ細身の体型が特徴だ。他の大型ネコ科動物とは異なり、チーターはチャープ音やパー音で鳴く。生息地の分断と大型捕食者との競争により、残存個体数は約7,000頭のみとなっており、危急種に分類されている。
