Buckelwal

大型クジラの中で最も曲芸的なクジラのひとつであるザトウクジラは、繁殖期にオスが歌う複雑で神秘的な歌で知られており、数時間にわたって続き時間をかけて変化していきます。体長16m、体重30トンに達し、哺乳類の中で最長の回遊を行います。全海洋に分布し、協調的なバブルネット採餌でオキアミや小魚を捕食します。歴史的な捕鯨後の個体数はおおむね回復しています。

Ensifer saheliはRhizobiaceae科の窒素固定アルファプロテオバクテリアで、アフリカのサヘル地域のSesbania及びAcacia類マメ科植物の根粒から最初に分離されました。農業的に限界的な環境で土壌肥沃度に貢献し、栄養の乏しい半乾燥熱帯土壌で宿主との有効な共生関係を形成します。名称はサヘル地域を原産地として反映しています。
