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。

Trechispora microsporeはその名の通り非常に小さな胞子を産生する皮殻状菌である。温帯および亜寒帯林で腐朽広葉樹・針葉樹の丸太の下面に薄い白色〜クリーム色の被殻として生育する。この腐生菌は枯れた木質材料を分解し、森林生態系の栄養素循環に寄与する。
