giraffe

地球上で最も背の高い動物であるキリン(Giraffa camelopardalis)は体高が5.5mに達し、体重は最大1,750kgにもなる。すべての哺乳類と同じ7個の頸椎からなる長い首は、アフリカのサバンナや疎林のアカシアの木に食物を求めて進化した。永続的な絆を持たない緩やかな群れで生活する社会的動物で、超低周波音と身振りで意思疎通する。生息地の喪失と密猟により個体数が減少している危急種である。

Peronospora debaryi はセリ科(Apiaceae)植物を感染させる露菌病卵菌類病原体で、感染した葉の黄化と変形、下面の灰色の綿毛状成長を引き起こす。この絶対活物寄生体は生きた宿主植物組織内で生活環を完成させ、湿潤な条件の温帯地域で感受性宿主が育つところならどこでも見られる。
