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。

Mallomonas allorgei はMallomonadaceae科に属するケイ酸質鱗片を持つ鞭毛藻類で、精巧な構造のケイ酸質鱗片と剛毛に覆われた卵形の細胞体が特徴である。貧栄養から中栄養の淡水湖や池に生息し、植物プランクトンの多様性に貢献する。この種のケイ酸質鱗片は湖底堆積物に良好に保存され、過去の水化学の古湖沼学的指標として活用される。
