Bamboo bear

ジャイアントパンダ（Ailuropoda melanoleuca）は中国中部の山岳竹林に生息し、体重最大125キログラムになるクマ科の動物で、食肉目に分類されながら食事の99%を竹が占める特異な食性を持つ。偽の親指（橈側種子骨）を使って竹の茎を把握し、1日14時間もの採食時間を費やす。2016年にIUCNレッドリストで絶滅危惧から危急（VU）へ改善されており、保護繁殖プログラムと自然保護区の設置が個体数回復に貢献している。

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。
