Among the most acrobatic of the great whales, humpback whales are renowned for their complex, haunting songs sung by males during breeding season — some lasting hours and evolving over time. Reaching 16 meters and 30 tonnes, they undertake the longest migrations of any mammal. Found in all oceans, humpbacks feed on krill and small fish using cooperative bubble-net feeding. Populations have largely recovered from historic whaling.

Micromonospora costi is a Gram-positive actinobacterium in the family Micromonosporaceae, isolated from plant-associated soils. Like other Micromonospora species, it forms single spores on branching aerial hyphae and is known for producing bioactive secondary metabolites including antibiotics and antifungal compounds. Its soil habitat and enzymatic repertoire make it an important contributor to organic matter decomposition.
