Habitat

Found across multiple habitat types including tropical and subtropical moist broadleaf forests, tropical and subtropical grasslands and savannas, and flooded grasslands and savannas, among 4 distinct biome types within the Afrotropic biogeographic realm. Populations are also found in montane and highland environments at higher elevations.

Range

Distributed across Cameroon, Congo (Republic), Equatorial Guinea, and Gabon. Currently classified as Critically Endangered on the IUCN Red List, this species faces significant conservation challenges across its range.

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.

gorilla

The world's largest primate, western gorillas weigh up to 180 kg and inhabit the tropical and subtropical forests of equatorial Africa. Primarily herbivorous, living in family groups led by a silverback male who protects the troop and mediates social conflicts. Critically Endangered, with populations threatened by deforestation, poaching for bushmeat, and outbreaks of Ebola virus disease.
