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.

Golovinomyces orontii is a powdery mildew fungus in the family Erysiphaceae, an obligate biotrophic pathogen causing white powdery coatings on a broad range of host plants including Arabidopsis thaliana. It has become an important model pathogen for studying plant-fungal interactions and immune responses due to the widespread use of Arabidopsis as a model organism. Spores disperse by wind and the fungus completes its lifecycle entirely on the surface of living leaf tissue.
