帝企鹅

帝企鹅是世界上体型最大的企鹅，身高可达1.2米，体重达45千克，栖息于南极大陆极端恶劣的环境中。它们在隆冬的黑暗中、零下60°C以下的严寒里繁殖，雄鸟将唯一的蛋置于脚背上，藏于育卵囊下孵化长达65天，而雌鸟则在此期间出海觅食。数千只帝企鹅组成的群体通过循环交换位置、使个体轮流经过温暖的核心区域这一抱团取暖行为，堪称合作生存的典范。

Ustilago filiformis是Ustilaginaceae科的黑粉菌，是侵染水甜茅(Glyceria属)并将其花部转化为暗色冬孢子团的专性寄生菌。通过操控宿主植物发育在正常子房位置形成瘿瘤，从而散播真菌孢子。Ustilago属的黑粉病感染可显著降低宿主禾本科植物的种子产量。
