Apiognomonia erythrostoma is a fungal pathogen responsible for cherry leaf scorch and leaf spot disease, causing yellow-brown lesions and premature defoliation on cherries (Prunus species) and related stone fruits. It overwinters in fallen, infected leaves and disperses ascospores during wet spring weather to initiate new infections. This pathogen affects both wild and cultivated Prunus trees across temperate regions.

The world's largest primate, western gorillas weigh up to 180 kg and inhabit the tropical and subtropical forests of equatorial Africa. Primarily herbivorous, living in family groups led by a silverback male who protects the troop and mediates social conflicts. Critically Endangered, with populations threatened by deforestation, poaching for bushmeat, and outbreaks of Ebola virus disease.
