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。

giraffe

地球上で最も背の高い動物であるキリン(Giraffa camelopardalis)は体高が5.5mに達し、体重は最大1,750kgにもなる。すべての哺乳類と同じ7個の頸椎からなる長い首は、アフリカのサバンナや疎林のアカシアの木に食物を求めて進化した。永続的な絆を持たない緩やかな群れで生活する社会的動物で、超低周波音と身振りで意思疎通する。生息地の喪失と密猟により個体数が減少している危急種である。
