最も研究され、最も知られているイルカ種であるバンドウイルカは、沿岸の浅瀬から外洋まで世界中の温暖な海域と温帯海域に生息します。体に対して大きな脳を持つ高度に知性的なこの種は、自己認識、複雑なコミュニケーション、社会的学習を示します。流動的な分裂融合社会で生活し、魚を追い込むために協力します。海洋生態系の健全性の重要な指標種です。

Stephanoeca kentiiはロリカを持つ襟鞭毛虫類で、細胞周囲にケイ酸塩片からなる精巧なかご状の構造物(ロリカ)を形成する海洋性単細胞生物です。ピコプランクトン細菌を餌とする沿岸・外洋域の海水に生息します。この種のような襟鞭毛虫類は、動物に最も近縁な現生単細胞生物として科学的関心を集めています。
