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。

Pseudoperonospora urticaeはPeronosporaceae科に属するイラクサ（Urtica）種に感染する絶対寄生栄養性卵菌類のべと病菌である。湿潤条件での葉裏の特徴的な灰色の胞子形成とともに葉の黄化と白化を引き起こす。イラクサへの宿主特異性により、卵菌類病原体と野生宿主の共進化研究の興味深いモデルとなっている。
