コウテイペンギン

世界最大のペンギンであるコウテイペンギン(Aptenodytes forsteri)は体高最大1.2m、体重45kgで、地球上で最も過酷な環境の一つである南極大陸に生息しています。零下60°C以下の真冬の暗闇の中で繁殖し、雌が海上にいる間、雄が65日間足の上で育雛嚢の下に一つの卵を温め続けます。数千羽からなる群れで個体が暖かい中心部を循環するいわゆるハドリング行動は、協調的な生存戦略の傑作です。

Mikrosyphar polysiphoniae は Ectocarpales 目に属する小型の内生性褐藻で、Polysiphonia 属の紅藻に寄生します。宿主の皮層組織に侵入し、宿主葉状体の表面に小さな膿疱を形成します。軽度懸念と評価されており、北半球の温帯沿岸海洋環境で見られます。
