Baleia jubarte

Entre as baleias grandes mais acrobáticas, as baleias-jubarte são famosas por seus cantos complexos e evocativos entoados pelos machos durante a temporada reprodutiva, podendo durar horas e evoluir ao longo do tempo. Atingindo 16 metros e 30 toneladas, realizam as migrações mais longas de qualquer mamífero. Encontradas em todos os oceanos, alimentam-se de krill e peixes pequenos usando a técnica cooperativa de rede de bolhas.

Xylaria corniformis é um ascomiceto carbonáceo em forma de maça que produz estrómalos negros, firmes, em forma de chifre ou galho de veado, sobre madeira em decomposição em habitats florestais tropicais e subtropicais. É um decompositor saprotrófico de madeira que contribui para a degradação da lignocelulose nos ecossistemas florestais. Classificado como Em Perigo, as ameaças incluem o desmatamento tropical e a perda de habitats de floresta antiga.
