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。

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。
