Botryotinia calthae는 습지 서식지에서 습지금잔화(Caltha palustris)를 감염시키는 Botrytis 유사 병원균의 유성 단계인 Sclerotiniaceae과에 속하는 자낭균류 균류입니다. 감염된 식물 조직에 균핵을 형성하여 토양에 남아 미래의 감염을 시작합니다. 괴사영양성 병원균으로서 숙주 조직을 죽인 후 결과적으로 생성된 죽은 물질을 먹습니다.

Common Yellow Conch

<em>Agapeta hamana</em>, the common yellow conch moth, is a small moth in the family Tortricidae. It is widely distributed across Europe and central Asia, ranging from Britain and Scandinavia eastward through much of the Palearctic region. The species inhabits dry grasslands, heathlands, chalk downlands, and scrubby habitats where its larval host plants are found. Adult moths display distinctive pale yellow to golden-yellow forewings with irregular brown or reddish-brown markings near the wingtip, forming a pattern that resembles the shell of a conch, lending the species its common name. The wingspan typically measures around 15–22 mm. Biological traits such as average adult lifespan, precise body weight, and detailed population data remain poorly documented in consolidated scientific literature. Larvae feed internally on the roots of thistles and knapweeds, particularly <em>Centaurea</em> and <em>Cirsium</em> species. Adults fly from June to August and are frequently attracted to light. <em>Agapeta hamana</em> has been investigated as a potential biological control agent for invasive knapweed species in North America, where it has been introduced experimentally. The species is assessed as Least Concern given its broad distribution and stable habitat associations.
