African elephant

地球上最大の陸上動物であるアフリカゾウは体重7,000 kgに達し、サハラ以南のサバンナ、森林、湿地に生息する。成熟した雌が群れを率いる高度に知的な社会構造を持ち、超低周波音やうなり声、接触によって意思疎通する。木を引き倒したり水飲み場を掘ったり種子を散布したりすることで生態系を形成するエンジニア種だが、象牙の密猟や生息地の喪失により個体数は減少しており、危急（VU）とされている。

Uromyces lineolatusはPucciniaceae科に属するさび病菌で、湿地環境のイネ科およびカヤツリグサ科植物を侵す異種または同種寄生の絶対栄養寄生性病原菌です。宿主の葉面に特徴的な赤褐色の夏胞子堆(uredinia)を形成し、夏胞子を散布します。この種のようなさび病菌は世界的に経済的・生態学的に最も重要な植物病原菌の一つです。
