Habitat & Geographic Range
gorilla
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.
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.
Native to Europe, inhabiting ecosystems characteristic of the region.
Found across Europe (6 countries).
gorilla
西部大猩猩是世界上最大的灵长类动物,体重可达180千克,栖息于赤道非洲的热带和亚热带森林。主要为草食性,以保护族群并调解社会冲突的银背雄性为首形成家族群体。由于森林砍伐、丛林肉偷猎和埃博拉病毒疾病暴发,被列为极度濒危(CR)。
Urocystis agropyri is a smut fungus in the order Urocystidales, causing flag smut disease in wheat and related grasses, recognized as an economically damaging pathogen of cereal crops globally. The fungus infects wheat (Triticum aestivum) and other gramineous hosts including Agropyron species, penetrating seedling tissues systemically and eventually producing dark, sooty spore masses (sori) on flag leaves and stems, which rupture to release teliospores and dramatically reduce grain yield. Infected plants often show characteristic streaking and shredding of leaf tissue before spore release. Urocystis agropyri survives in soil and on seed surfaces, making seed-borne transmission a primary infection route. Historic outbreaks devastated wheat harvests before the widespread adoption of seed treatment fungicides and the development of resistant cultivars. Modern control relies on certified disease-free seed, seed dressing with systemic fungicides, and cultivation of resistant varieties. The pathogen remains a concern in regions where resistant varieties are not widely deployed or where fungicide resistance may emerge. Its distribution mirrors global wheat cultivation zones across temperate regions of Europe, Asia, North America, and Australia.
