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.

Rhizobium laguerreae is a nitrogen-fixing alphaproteobacterium in the family Rhizobiaceae, capable of forming symbiotic root nodules on various legume species. It fixes atmospheric nitrogen in exchange for organic carbon from its host plant, contributing to soil fertility and reducing the need for synthetic nitrogen fertilizers. The species was named to honor microbiologist Dr. Laguerre.
