Hymenoscyphus albidus是柔膜菌科（Helotiaceae）的一种小型白色杯状真菌，与高度入侵性的水曲柳枯梢病病原体H. fraxineus密切相关。在欧洲森林落叶水曲柳叶柄上形成微小有柄子囊盘，现被视为受引入病原体排挤的罕见本土物种。被评估为数据不足，因与近缘病原体混淆，其在欧洲各地的种群现状不明确。

koala

澳大利亚东部和东南部的标志性有袋类动物，体重最大可达15千克，为了节省低热量桉树叶食物所提供的能量，每天最多睡眠22小时。高度特化，能够处理会致大多数其他哺乳动物死亡的有毒桉树成分，拥有专门适应解毒功能的肠道微生物群。因衣原体病、栖息地开发和气候变化导致种群锐减，2022年被列为濒危物种。
