gorilla

世界最大の霊長類であるニシゴリラは体重が最大180kgに達し、赤道アフリカの熱帯・亜熱帯の森林に生息する。主に草食性で、群れを守り社会的な対立を仲裁するシルバーバック雄が率いる家族集団を形成する。森林破壊、食肉目的の密猟、エボラウイルス感染症の流行により脅威にさらされており、近絶滅種（CR）に指定されている。

Physarum pusillum は湿潤な林内環境の腐朽植物素材や樹皮に小さく淡色の胞子嚢を形成する小型変形菌類である。その名前は他の Physarum 種に比べた小型の体を反映する。仲間と同様に、生殖構造を形成する前に基質上を這い回って食物粒子を取り込む多核原形質段階を経て、複数の大陸に分布する。
