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。

Uromyces lineolatusはPucciniaceae科に属するさび病菌で、湿地環境のイネ科およびカヤツリグサ科植物を侵す異種または同種寄生の絶対栄養寄生性病原菌です。宿主の葉面に特徴的な赤褐色の夏胞子堆(uredinia)を形成し、夏胞子を散布します。この種のようなさび病菌は世界的に経済的・生態学的に最も重要な植物病原菌の一つです。
