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.

Hemileccinum impolitum is a bolete fungus in the family Boletaceae, assessed as Endangered (EN). It forms ectomycorrhizal associations with oaks and other broadleaf trees in warm, open woodland habitats. Its endangered status reflects habitat loss through deforestation and changes in woodland management across its European range.
