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。

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。
