Cheetah

地球上で最も速い陸上動物で、アフリカとイランの草原において短距離走で時速112kmに達する。深い胸部、長い脚、独特の黒い涙縞模様を持つ細身の体型が特徴だ。他の大型ネコ科動物とは異なり、チーターはチャープ音やパー音で鳴く。生息地の分断と大型捕食者との競争により、残存個体数は約7,000頭のみとなっており、危急種に分類されている。

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。
