Biscogniauxia repandaは、枯死した広葉樹の樹皮に子嚢殻を埋め込んだ扁平で地衣状の子座を形成するビン酵母目の菌類です。コナラ、クリなどの広葉樹の枯れ枝や幹に生育し、温帯および地中海の森林に生息します。この腐生子嚢菌は枯死広葉樹を分解し、ストレスを受けたり損傷を受けた樹木に定着します。

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。
