地球上で生きたことが知られている最大の動物であるシロナガスクジラ(Balaenoptera musculus)は、体長33メートル、体重200トンに達することができ、心臓だけで小型自動車ほどの重さがあります。全ての海洋に生息し、極地の餌場と熱帯の繁殖地の間を回遊します。1日最大4トンのオキアミを摂取する濾過摂食者です。20世紀の捕鯨による絶滅危機からの回復後、世界的な個体数は10,000〜25,000頭と推定される絶滅危惧種です。

Phytophthora gonapodyides は卵菌類に属する水カビで、主に河川、川、冠水した土壌を含む水生および川岸環境の腐生生活者である。多くの Phytophthora 種とは異なり、植物に高度に病原性ではないが、特定の条件下で弱った宿主を感染させる可能性がある。ヨーロッパと北米の淡水および河口生息地に見られる。
