Polar bear

地球上で最大の陸上肉食動物であるホッキョクグマは700kgを超えることがあり、カナダからロシアまでの北極海氷域全体に分布する。ワモンアザラシとヒゲアザラシを狩るために海氷に依存する高度に特化した海洋哺乳類である。広大な距離を泳ぐことができる優れた泳者でもある。脆弱種に指定されており、気候変動による急激な北極海氷の消失で個体群が深刻な圧力を受けている。

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。
