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。

Ustilago filiformisはUstilaginaceae科の黒穂菌で、マコモダケ類(Glyceria属)に感染して花部を暗色の冬胞子塊に変える絶対寄生菌です。宿主植物の発達を操作して正常な子房の代わりに虫こぶを作り、菌の胞子を散布させます。Ustilago属の黒穂病感染は宿主イネ科植物の種子生産を大幅に低下させることがあります。
