Afalina

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.

Hyaloperonospora cardaminopsidis is an oomycete (water mould) in the family Peronosporaceae that is a biotrophic parasite of Cardaminopsis (rockcress) plants. Like other downy mildews, it infects leaf tissue and produces white, branching conidiophores on the underside of leaves. Its conservation status is not evaluated.
