Colpoma juniperi is an ascomycete fungus producing narrow, slit-like apothecia beneath the bark of juniper trees. It grows on dead and declining branches of Juniperus species in temperate and Mediterranean environments across Europe and western Asia. This weakly pathogenic to saprotrophic fungus decomposes dead juniper wood and bark tissue.

common bottlenose dolphin

The most studied and recognized dolphin species, bottlenose dolphins inhabit warm and temperate oceans worldwide, from coastal shallows to the open sea. Highly intelligent with large brains relative to body size, they demonstrate self-recognition, complex communication, and social learning. They live in fluid fission-fusion societies and cooperate to herd fish. A keystone indicator species for marine ecosystem health.
