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.
Nemania serpens is a saprotrophic ascomycete fungus producing flat, black, crust-like stromata that creep along the surface of dead wood, particularly hardwood branches and logs. It is found across temperate forests in Europe and North America, where it plays a role in wood decomposition. This species is one of the more commonly encountered wood-inhabiting ascomycetes in deciduous woodland.
